PIXMA Pro 100, printing setup error

I am new to printing, I just got my Pixma Pro and so far have had terrible results.  1/10 times I get beautiful prints, the rest are terrible, faded, and as they have a gray film on them.  I think that its either a management or color paper management problem. I try to use 8.5 "x 11"Canon Pixma Photo"with finishing mate.  I print with Photoshop. I have the same problem if I click on Photoshop color handle or manage color printers, but prints nice 1/10 has been made manually setting the document to "glossy" under the menu print settings in Photoshop CS6 instead by selecting Matte is the obvious choice.

When I chose Photoshop treats color management I get prints of same gray no matter what printer profile I select. Although it seems more logical to choose matte Canon Pro - 100 3 paper photo because it's what I use, once again nice 1/10 prints have been achieved selection Pro 3 Platinum photo paper.

I don't understand how it works.  The picture I am trying to print is here, green and nice blue. http://www.Flickr.com/photos/27816471@N06/9076033417/in/set-72157634198994950 it seems gray and washed out when I print, sort of like the printer is 1/2 more ink, but he says is not.  Black and gray are good.

What should I do?  I know its operator error, but I can not re - introduce one of the environment to get decent prints of this, so I'm considering junking or return. really disappointed.

He is a. (at least on the matte premium.) was a packet of information about 3 x 4 in plastic sleeve, in that the paper is conditioning?

Should be slightly whiter and not quite as calm as the side back side printing. Very subtle.

  • Canon Pixma Pro - 100 prints very dark

    I see that it is a recuring with the Canon Pixma Pro-100 problem, but nothing, I found an online help I ask and hope someone can solve this problem for me.

    Just picked up a Pixma Pro-100 today and installed on my iMac 27 "(Yosemite) 2011 with the latest drivers downloaded from Canon to be sure to have the website." I also checked the printer firmware but it's later to 1,100. Weather, I'm printing through Lightroom or Photoshop; by Canon Print Studio Pro, my garden image, or by LR / PS directly; with - or without PS as a manager of color; the prints is proving to be much to dark.

    I have to set an exposure of 2/3 in LR to be anywhere nearby to get the same result as on the screen. I am also careful to select the right ICC for correct paper profiles. My monitor is calibrated with a Spyder4pro and I also re-calibrated her during this process to see if that helped.

    Well. Long story short; the prints are dark. So I borrowed 2013 Spyder4pro MacBook Pro (Yosemite my wife) and installed the latest drivers from Canon. Once again; on this machine, the impressions are also to dark with about + 2/3 in order to correct the impression of something that looks like the monitor. The two screens can also be programmed to 30% brightness.

    I also have access to an Epson Stylus Photo R3000 and the prints of that much brighter spell.

    Unfortunately, I see that many others also have the same problem. Then; Here's the question. How can I fix it? Do I have to return the printer and get a refund? Because it's clearly not good enough.

    Thank you very much for your answers. But unfortunately, I have "been there, done that" on all of your advice.

    I go back on Monday to the printer and replace it with an equal Epson printer as I have only good experiences with this brand and the prints I get without using overtime to tinker with settings.

    It was my first (and last) Canon printer.

  • Paper size of the PIXMA Pro - 100 substitute

    Hello

    I love the Pixma Pro-100 on most levels compared to my previous R2400!  Ink consumption, image quality, etc. all are better.  The only exceptionis I could print a banner 44 "on the Epson.  Is it possible to configure or replace the maximum print size 13 x 19?

    Thank you!

    KP

    Like other Canon printers, the PRO-100 to set custom paper sizes.

    Paper width: 12.95 "- after a few tries, I found that a custom size the value 13" causes a printing error. With the help of 12.95 "corrected it. You will notice on the scale of width 16.54. This is an error in the software programming.

    I found that the effective maximum print length is 26 ".  Then 12.95 x 26 inches.  No. 44 inches!

  • PIXMA pro 100 versus pixma ip8720

    Hello:

    I'm in the market for a new photo printer.  I got some Epsons for years but these guns are really pretty.  I'm looking at Pixma Pro 100 and the Pixma ip8720.  What is your opinion?

    Thank you!

    I have the Pro-100 and I have a Pro - 9500 II, then you probably know my preference.

    Either will do a good job and I guess the only difference between the two is, AI a printer 6 colors and the other is an 8.

    The Pro-100 is a beast at nearly 45 pounds.  It's a really nice photo printer.

  • PIXMA Pro-100, ICC profiles, etc.

    I will try to make a long story short.  About 5 months ago, I bought a camera Canon T3i.  Is not only the prints that I got at department stores, bought a PIxma Pro-100.  Little did the research, visited account I need to calibrate my monitor, purchased a Datacolor Spyder Pro 4.

    My questions concern the software used to get prints.  I do not have PhotoShop, and I don't want to buy it.  I have PaintShop Pro, but realize that I can't use it.  My computer is Win7.  I do not know cameras, but I've been in it for 30 years.  I know that computers.

    I'm not happy with the impressions I'm away until now.  The colors all are low (for lack of a better word).  Everything I've read about the Pro100 said colors should be rich (saturated).  Mine are not.

    First, I tried the software that came with my camera.  Digital Photo Professional.  It works with the plugin from Canon, Print Studio Pro.  It seems that he has acknowledged, or charges, ICC profiles for Canon paper I use.  It does not recognize or give me the option to select an ICC profile for my monitor.

    I called Canon support.  The guy I spoke to Easy-PhotoPrint EX software recommended.  Said that he should have come on the CD with my Pixma.  He did not.  This software does not use the plugin from Canon.  And appears to be more limited.  He said that it works well with Canon cameras.  Honestly, it looked like it was BS'ing me all the time.  If you don't know the answer, it's ok to put it simply, it's my feeling.

    OK, it turns out be a long story.  Can someone help me?  This printer I have does not measure upward for what I've read about it.  I spent a lot of money to get good prints from my Canon camera.  I don't have this, not even close.  What should I do?

    In DPP, go to tools-> Preferences-> color management and you can select a monitor profile.

  • PIXMA Pro - 100 and Windows 8.1 help please...

    Hello

    I'll try to be concise

    Spent the whole day on the phone to do this without the same answer twice * sigh *.

    I was told and I read again and again that YES, Pro-100 WILL absolutely work with Windows 8.1.

    Then... It is possible that it will NOT work unless I have 8.1 Pro Pack.

    Is this true?

    IOW... Is there anyone using the PIXMA Pro-100 with Windows 8.1 * without * Pro Pack very well?

    I ordered the printer yesterday before being told this topic and need to know if I need to cancel my order before it ships.

    I thank very you much for any help.

  • Canon Pro 100 printer - worth getting?

    Hello!  I have a chance to buy a printer Canon Pro 100 for a good price, but I was wondering how a printer it is.  People have good success with soft-proof-to-print quality?

    I'm better off to just use the icc profile of a laboratory for their printer/paper and send it to them for printing?

    Thank you!

    I had my Canon Pixma Pro-100 now for a few years. What is a print quality, I think it is excellent. Note that it is an ink system die. Some people warn that the prints will not last as long. Pigments based systems reportedly produce impressions of longer duration. Personally, I don't mind it because I don't print that much. I had prints now posted on my wall for a couple of years and have seen no noticeable change in them.

    The other concern is whether or not you think you are going to print your own in order to save money. Many people refill their cartridges, which significantly reduces the cost of printing. I don't post enough to worry about the cost of ink, so I continued using OEM cartridges. It's really much cheaper to have your prints made by a reputable lab, even if you print a lot.

    Thus comes down to whether or not you really want to print, and what you want to accomplish. If you want just the experience to complete the process of a House, the Canon Pixma Pro-100 is a very good printer in my opinion. I used a number of different papers of the Red River. They provide profiles for all their papers and impressions fit very well. I have no problem with the printer.

  • Printing from Photoshop CS6 to new Canon Pixma Pro-100 shrunken output?

    When you print 8.5 x 11 "Photoshop cs6 (any size) on the new Canon Pixma Pro100, it prints about 25 percent of the correct size.  Starting up page & vprinter settings checked, together correctly this is a file I printed often previous printer (canon pro 9000) without problem. I deleted and added the new printer to queue in the preferences. I'm confused as to what could cause this problem. Adobe compatibility? or the new pro 100 Canon printer driver? any advice?  Should I remove folder utiliities Canon. (I had a hellish time, installation of the printer software, gave up to get wireless to work, so its usb plugged). But why some files psd print properly, often the first attempts to print are narrowed, but then get corrected, but some I can't get the file to print anything, but this small size! maddening! very grateful for any advice. I'm on deadline! (Photoshop cs6, Yosemite)

  • PIXMA Pro - 100 nine flowing, wet prints

    I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, but I just set up my Pro-100 new printers using Canon ink and paper and prints are coming very wet and running nose.  I feel of Lightroom.  Am I missing a setting somewhere?

    Thank you!

    Thank you all.  I tried another paper and that solved the problem, so either I was printing on the wrong side of the first study (since it doesn't have a watermark on the back) or paper is the question.  I'd bet that I was printing on the wrong side.

    Thank you once again, everything is going well!

  • PIXMA Pro-100, very dark print

    Hi all

    I just bought my Pro-100 and installed yesterday evening. I upgraded to an HP that was strictly CMYK (only 4 ink). I installed according to the instructions, but my impressions seem to come out substantially darker than they should be. Lime green print darker green. The bright blue print a darker blue. The bright red print a very dark red. Roses are dark pink print. The tones are much, much darker than they should be.

    I print Adobe programs (Illustrator, Photoshop, and Pro - CS6 all). Am I missing a setting somewhere? On my previous printer, I would choose "primary preserve CMYK" and it printed perfectly. Now, I can't seem to get my impressions a normal colour. I'm not attempt "to match my monitor", just trying to get the colors closer to their true colors. I have CMYK primaries preserve not controlled and checked that the printer determine colors, but none of these options seem to be able to help.

    I called Canon support, but they were unable to help me. He had put me my settings all default return and test printing. When this does not work, he said "good printers vary by brand so theres really nothing we can do about it." I can't imagine that this big of a printer prints it off on the colours.

    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    "... There's nothing we can do about it." »

    Well, of course it is not true.  I have three of these printers in this line.  The 9000, 9500 II amd Pro-100.

    They are all printed differently, but after a bit of tinkering with settings, they all did very well.  They are great printers.

    First of all you do not leave the printer defined anything.  Cut each little out of control there.  You can do it with the Canon My Printer the printer settings tab.  Do you know how?  I think, Yes, for the moment, but if you don't come back to me.

    Secondly, you must have PS manage all settings and corresponding color.  You know how to do this?

    And finally, it is essential that you get some settings on your monitor which corresponds somewhat to the prints.  Your printer can do exactly what you say to do, and not sure that it is.  Because your monitor is turned off.  If you don't do this step, you can forget the other steps.  However, there are only a few things that must be addressed.  You don't need for any fancy additional modules to do this.

    But you must get very narrow gray-scale.  You must get very close brightness and you must close contrast.

    Once you do these things, you can make adjustments to your impressions by looking at just your screen.  Because you know that the monitor and printer are on the same level.  Another point, you cannot get a printer to print all colors exactly as you saw.  It is not possible because all the colors and adjustment in effect all the others.  My goal is to get the right tones.  That's what people notice.

    For example, I know that my most recent Pro - 100 tends to print darker than what I see on the screen.  So I automatically know to set it's prints a stop brighter in PS.  It also prints with a warn a little tone.  Most of the time, with in particular, protraits cela if OK, but sometimes it is not.  In this case I set the 'temp' slightly cooler setting in PS.

    Make sure that you have the correct ICC profile and that you use brand ink Canon and paper until you get well with the printer.  Very, very important!
