Printing by Specifying an ICC Profile within the Application

Print an edited / retouched image by using the ICC profile for printing specified within the application when input ICC profiles can be identified / set in an application other than Easy-PhotoPrint Pro.

Follow these steps when using a custom profile or a new downloaded profile for Canon brand paper.

1. Specifying an ICC Profile within an Application
   
   (1) Open the image you want to print in an application. Edit/retouch the image as needed.
   
   (2) Check that the correct ICC profile has been assigned, select the item that allows the application to manage colors, then specify the profile for printing.For example, in Adobe Photoshop, select 'Photoshop Manages Colors', then set a profile as the printer profile. At this time, please clear the 'Black Point Compensation' checkbox.
   
   The ICC profiles installed for your printer and Canon photo paper appear as follows.
   
   Note: The profile names for other manufacturers' papers will appear differently.
   
   
   
   (For example: Canon Pro9500 PR1)
   
   (1) Printer model name
   
   (2) Media type
   
   Each letter pair represents its respective Media type.
   
   SP: = Canon Photo Paper Plus Glossy
   MP: = Canon Matte Photo Paper
   SG: = Canon Photo Paper Plus Semi-gloss
   GL: = Canon Photo Paper Plus Glossy II
   PT: = Canon Photo Paper Pro Platinum
   
   (3) Print quality
   The numbers correspond to the numbers on the print quality slide bar in the [Custom Quality] dialog box opened from the [Main] tab of the printer driver. The lower the number, the finer the quality.
   
   Note: With Printer Driver version 2.28 or later and XPS driver version 5.28 or later, the profile names are more descriptive. Download and install the latest printer driver for the latest features.
   
   For example: Canon Pro9000 Mark II <MP> 1 Matte Photo Paper. 'Matte Photo Paper' would be the appropriate media type setting and the Quality setting would be '1'.
