Question

Printing

printing from Photoshop to Canon Prixma Pro 200 still gives an overtone of sepia. Any ideas? I have been through two Pro-100 printers and finally fell for the Pro 200 ($$), and still have the same problem. Prints are muddy and lose the vibrance of the displayed image - especially in larger formats. Has to be an Adobe problem, going by the comments on line. How in the world do I get rid of this "setting"?

@Eldon Howard One more thing to add to @D Fosse question, if you are using "Photoshop manages Color" do you, by any chance, have 'rendering intent' set to 'Absolute Colorimetric'?

If so try 'Relative' 

 

And please let us know what media (paper) and ICC profile you are using. 

 

How are you calibrating/profiling your screen? 

Is the 'white area of your image 2555,255,255 when sampled in Photoshop? 

 

I hope this helps neil barstow, colourmanagement net - adobe forum volunteer - co-author: 'getting colour right' google me "neil barstow colourmanagement" for lots of free articles on colour management Help others by clicking "Correct Answer" if the question is answered.

You need to show a screenshot of the Photoshop Print dialog. Click "Print Settings" to get the printer driver in a separate window and include that, like here. Marked in yellow are the settings you need to watch:
