Question

PS 24.1.1 and Mac Os Monterey 12.4

PS (24.1.1) not printing colors correctly to matched paper icc profiles on a Canon Imagraf 4100.  Red, green, and blue in particular are off. Prints correctly using Canon Professional Print and Layout, under all the same circumstances.  Must be an Adobe issue.  Monitor and printer are color calibrated. Operating system Monterey 12.4.

 

Thoughts?

 

Thanks.

Craig

HI @Kestrel Aviator its reasonably likely that when printing from the Canon Professional Print and Layout plug-in versus from Photoshop there's a difference in colourmanagement settings, specifically the printer/paper profile used.

In Photoshop you'd need to select print, then "Photoshop manages Color" and below that select the Canon printer/paper ICC profile - then, next, in the printer settings select the right media by name. 

 

We need to see screenshots of your print process and the same option screens within the Canon Professional Print and Layout software 

 

I hope this helps

Mr Barstow. - the process you describe is exactly how I print from PS. There were some out of gamut colors that were fixed with paper choice.

Hello, please share the print interface from Photoshop and the driver first.  I converted the bug into a discussion until we can be sure it is a bug, but color management issues have many parameters to be checked first...

    The interface between PS and the driver ? Can you be more specific? Thanks - I am not a technical expert.

    The windows that you get when you hit print is Photoshop's print interface. When you click on Print Settings... you get the printer settings, controled by its driver. please share both, especially the pages and buttons that deals about color management.

    You should always test output using good color reference images designed for that task. The color reference images RGB values are such that they are set for output and are editing and display agnostic. Test the output this way and examine for the same color issues so we know it's not your image-specific issues causing the problems:
