Problem for Canon PIXMA? MP600 All-In-One InkJet Printer

Cannon MP600 will not print accurate photo colours




By firdaus_kere on Nov 06, 2009

I am trying to print photo's from my MAC (iphoto) to my MP600, for some reason the photo's look great in the preview - great colours and clarity but when I try to print them out they appear very pink looking with a lack depth and colour. . Anyone got any ideas of what is happening here? This is a recent problem and I am not sure how to fix it? I can print the photographic images to plain paper without too much trouble,but using photo paper (kodak)is proving a nightmare...Help please - I have over 40 photos to print for a project, aghhhhhhh...

First clean and align the printer correctly.

You will need to ensure that you have selected Photo Glossy Paper for best results. You will also need to adjust the gamma settings and also play with the colour saturation controls to achieve a good colour balance that you are happy with.

Try printing a basic colour additive chart and comparing screen against printout and adjusting settings as required.

Also have a look at myPANTONE colour splash to get the definitive Pantone Colour Mixes at

or use a paint tool or PhotoShop etc to create solid colour blocks of basic colour to compare against.
