Hello All,

I'm attempting to simulate a device in proofing conditions, which i think basically means tell my Mac (or Photoshop) what printer and paper I am using.. however, mine is not in the list and 'other' is greyed out..

 

Any ideas?

 

Kind regards

I do not own that printer, but out of curiosity I downloaded the Canon iP8700 driver Ver.16.40.1.0 dated October 2020 and inspected it in the Pacifist utility. That reveals that the installer does contain ICC profiles. Can you find profiles of those names (in the picture below) in any Adobe or Apple profile menus?

Yes I figured so. Pretty frustrating that they don't do profiles for it! I mean it wasn't super expensive but I'm quite impressed with the quality (from my amateurs perspective!). It certainly looks on a par with supermarket prints for example - if not better. 
There must be someone else out there with this printer who has come across the same issue. I'll start my search for them tomorrow.

 

thank you all for your input 🙏🏼
