From: Burt on 22 Jun 2005 18:29 Satoshi - The two light dye load inks, photo magenta and photo cyan, are used up faster than the other inks under normal circumstances when printing most photos. I have a Canon i960 and especially with pictures that have people with skin tones that are more red than average I either adjust the overall intensity to -4 or -6, or I adjust the magenta to a minus value that gives the best print. I have seen one post that suggested -7 setting for Magenta. Do not use the two higher quality paper settings - stay with the glossy photo paper setting as you described. Print all pictures in manual color setting. I found that the automatic setting came up very red. You may or may not have to adjust the intensity or magenta as described above. I use photoshop elements 2 and calibrated my monitor with the adobe gamma program. When I first bought the printer I played with various settings and papers to get the best color balance to my eye. When I started using non-OEM inks I redid my tests and found that the test prints were comparable to the OEM inks with every combination of settings and papers. I presently use Costco Kirkland glossy photo paper with an aftermarket ink and the settings I described above. Someone else answered your post with the suggestion that you may have more than one software program trying to adjust your colors. If the settings I suggested don't help[ then that may be your problem.

From: measekite on 22 Jun 2005 19:49 The difference must be in the driver since ng readers claim that the ink and the printhead is the same.
