    I wish my professors taught me this!! Now almost 2 decades later I’m learning about ICC profiles. My husband would also have issues with our prints and couldn’t figure out why, but this explains it all. I will have to test out this feature on my next print. Thank you so much for what you do! And your time to teach us all online.

    That turn-off ICM function saved me a ton of ink, paper, and frustration. I could not figure out why my XP 15000 printed just fine using the driver, but when I selected the ICC profile for the Epson paper, my colors were way off... head-scratcher until I found this video.. thank YOU!!!!

    You are the best!! Thanks so much for all you do. I am just at the beginning of having the confidence to print my photos. They are turning out fantastic. I bought a Pro-100 used with extra precision color inks that came with it. (From Rick Johnson) I bought a resetter from precision color and i plan to fill the cartridges and swap out the full set when they get low.
    You are the one that helped so much for me to be where i am and very happy for all the help. I have watched many many of your videos and feel like i know you even though we have never met. Maybe someday.

Of course now I'm at a total lost. Just received my ET-8550 and would love to have the profiles for this printer and the sample pictures, but I do not have Facebook - ( to much drama there :)))) ).

    • @cheo1949
      @cheo1949  Před rokem

      Polyester canvas??? Is it for inkjet printers? If so. You need an ICC profile made for it and the 4100. Then you need to know how to incorporate it in you color managed workflow. Assuming your monitor is also correctly calibrated so the colors you are seeing on it are actually the actual color values.

    Nice video, I own a Canon Pro 10 and this helped me a lot... One question Jose: Still no fix for the printer to use matte black with non fine art papers configurations?? Only choosing Fine art?

    • @cheo1949
      @cheo1949  Před 5 lety +1

      The only fix is the either take an empty PBK Cart and Fill IT with MBK ink. Or print in Fine Art mode but accept the 30mm wide borders. Or print with QIMAGE Ultimate and with IT you can choose to not print with that imposed border. But...you would still need to print using a Fine Art Matte paper choise and feed through the manual paper feeder. On the PRO1000 you can disable the margins in the driver.

    Hello, we just purchased a Canon pro 200 and I have glossy 11 x 17 cardstock that I am trying to print an image that we drew on clip studio paint. The black ink is bleeding into the other colors and it's staying really wet. I have tried to change the settings on the printer and the computer and get it to none on the color manger. I did get the image to print on the pro luster paper that came with the printer but it was much darker then the image on the monitor. Any help or ideas on what to try would be great. Thanks.

      You laptop screen requires calibration for color brightness and contrast. Print the Standard image. Do not edit it. Simply open it in your editing software and print it. In your editor's printing module choose to let the printer control color. Make sure to print on an EPSON paper. In the P800 driver choose that very paper in the media menu. Since you are on a MAC the driver color management should automatic.
      You should produce a near perfect neutral and correct density print. Compare that to your monitor display of the same image. If it looks different on your screen then you know it's the screen that is not displaying that image correctly. All MAC Book need calibration. Without a calibrated monitor you are unconsciously editing your images so the appear correct but since your screen is not correct...well you can guess the rest. The printer simply produces what you feed it.

    Why even compare "near perfect result using the driver" when you can achieve "perfect" results using icc profiles. Profiles are the only logical way to go. All you're doing here is spinning out yarn for more stats on your channel.

      For you and me. But I can provide you with hundreds of my viewers who would simply love to just use the driver and with OEM inks and papers as I used for this demo it will be hard to see the difference. Remember I am not considering non Canon or EPSON papers or other inks. When using OEM inks and matching papers and ICM as the color mode, the drive uses the correct ICC profile any way so it will be a match to using the ICC profile letting the editing app control colors. Where using the method I demo of tbis video comes in handy is when one prints with OTHER third party paper, inks or custom profiles or any combination there of.

      Tom you are entitled to your own opinion, but I don't find it very constructive to the topic and this series of how to print videos. This is very helpful to me as I'm learning the basics. I've watched and learned from many of Jose's videos and never once felt he's pumping out videos just for stats. He genuinely wants to help the community and is very knowledgeable. Thanks Jose!

      @@cheo1949 You're talking like every printhead and every ink and paper batch are within such a tight tolerance that it will work right out of the box, every time. You know (should know) that is not the case, and never will be. If that were the case, why are you spending hundreds of hours saying otherwise? You just invented a pointless exercise to feed your channel.
