CANON PREVIEW BLUER THAN PS IMAGE
I'm having a bit of trouble with my printer software, and don't quite
know where to look for the solution. The printer is a Canon i9950 - same as the i9900 but with the CD printing option. The image was shot with a 300D, RAW, set for Adobe 1998 color space, imported into PS as Adobe 1998 and color-balanced etc, then printed on the i9950. However, print preview shows the image as bluer than the PS image, and it prints bluer on paper. The print is a good match for the preview image, but not the PS image. Any ideas welcome. Colin D. |

If you are altering any of the colours, this may be the source of the problem, especially if your monitor hasn't been calibrated. Also, you don't mention whether or not you are using a colour profile for your printer/paper combination or, if you are, how you are applying it. This may help track down the problem. Jon. |

How have you calibrated your monitor? -- Ed Ruf Lifetime AMA# 344007 ) http://EdwardGRuf.com The monitor self-calibrates for sRGB, and it's not too far from aRGB, given the gamut of crt monitors. But I don't think the monitor is the problem, since the print preview obviously is displayed on the same monitor, but the color difference is visible between the PS image and the preview image. I would have thought that the preview would look the same as the PS image. Aah, perhaps the PS image is wrong, and maybe the preview image doesn't use the PS settings. I gotta do some more reading. Thanks for the reply. Colin D. |

IF YOU ARE USING GENERIC INK THAT MIGHT BE THE PROBLEM. OEM INK IS
DESIGNED FOR THE PRINTER BY THE PRINTER MFG.

LIKE I SAID CANON TECH SUPPORT IS VERY GOOD. IF LEVEL ONE DOES NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM THEN ASK FOR LEVEL TWO The print is a good match for the preview image, but not the PS image. Any ideas welcome.
