From: Satoshi on 22 Jun 2005 11:33 I am printing outdoor pictures on Canon i950 using Canon Glossy Photo Paper. On screen, pictures were sharp and great. When printed, pictures were reddish overall. Black stuff came out purple on prints. (All pictures were taken with Sony 5 MP digicam.). I don't see any problem with camera and screen color. Using Photoshop, I tried to change the color balance: I changed color level from red to cyan ( to the level of cyan -60). Printed pictures were still reddish, though less reddish this time. I am wondering what is the problem? Should I change magenta ink cartridge or print head? Need your help. Satoshi

From: bmoag on 22 Jun 2005 12:36 That overall pink cast often means color matching is being applied more than once in your printing chain. Canon's protocols for printing with Photoshop are not straightforward and even if you understand how to use them you will soon realize that they are terrible anyway. The easiest way to print with Canon is to throw the Canon printer away and buy an Epson. If that is not practical when you are in print preview in Photoshop set the "Profile" setting for Printer Color Management. Then set the Canon driver for the paper type and for photographic quality (or you can experiment with some other settings on the other driver tabs). The print preview should be in approximately correct color. Alas, Canon printer drivers being what they are, the final print will not likely resemble this as closely as it should.
