p.1 #1 · profiling a canon pro9000

I calibrated an ipf5000 recently with spectacular results. I'd like to profile my canon pro9000 at home but am running into a snag... there doesn't appear to be any way to turn off color management in the driver so that my measurement patches will be printed without any color management.

I tried Canon's own profiling tool but found that the profiles it makes don't match up to the colors on screen (which is profiled) or the prints from the ipf5000.

I am using OS X 10.5.7 with the latest driver downloaded from Canon's USA downloads page.

I use Windows, but I think process would be the same.

Go to "Main" window in driver.

Under "Color/Intensity" Choose Manual -> Matching -> None

In the mac canon driver there are only two color options, "colorsync" and "vendor matching". There doesn't seem to be a "none" option anywhere.

on the IPF5000 you can select "vendor matching" then in the canon section of the driver, go to the color part and select "no matching". That option doesn't exist for the pro9000.

Go to this link and go down almost to the end.

There is a screen shot of the printer driver.

This may assist you.

Unfortunately that screenshot is of the Pro9000 mkII model, which uses a different driver than the original.

Looks like I am going to call Canon this week about this, I will post the results.
