Question

Color Cast When Printing

I'm currently working on a MacBook Pro with the last OS (Mojave 10.14.3). I subscribe to the Adobe Photography Package and am up to date. My printer is a Canon Pixma Pro 100. It was able to print beautifully. Something has changed. Prints from either LR or PS all have a magenta color cast when using the ICC profiles. If I have the printer manage the colors, the colors are accurate but the print looks a little soft. I prefer to print from LR but don't want the color cast, is there any solutions for this?? Thanks for any help. !

So lets go thru some steps

1. Obviously you selected the Print Module, and selected an image from the filmstrip.

2. OVer on the lower right, you went into the Color Management panel, and selected "Other"???

3. A screen pops up, you select the profile you desire.

The problem you are describing is usually caused when both Lightroom AND the printer are managing the color. You need to ensure that color management is NOT enabled in the printer driver if you want Lightroom to manage the color. Do you know how to turn off color management in the printer driver?

Thanks for the response but with a Mac the printer driver isn't enabled. Windows machines can experience the conflict but it shouldn't happen with a Mac. I tried using different iccs.

Try printing a color reference image like this for testing:

Start totally from scratch by setting up the print driver and color management in LR, rather than any print template for testing.
