Background yellow on photo images. Profiles list: HP vs 15 SRGB Colorspace profile Do I delete or add something? In Color Management setting [email protected]

Here are some steps you can take to improve the print quality:

Calibrate Your Monitor:
The most common reason for prints appearing darker than the display is a mismatch between the monitor and the print. Your display should be adjusted to match the print, not the other way around.
Ensure that your monitor is properly calibrated. Use professional image editing applications like Photoshop or Lightroom to soft-proof your images. Soft proofing allows the display to simulate how the print will look.
Adjust your monitor's brightness, gamma, and color temperature to match the desired print output.

Check Your Editing Software Settings:
In Photoshop or other photo-editing apps, review your soft proofing settings. Make sure you're using the correct working space profile (such as Adobe RGB) and that it accurately represents how the image will appear when printed.
Soft proofing helps you visualize how the print will look based on the printer's ICC profile.

Printer Settings and ICC Profiles:
Understand that your printer operates independently of the display. It prints directly from the image stored on your computer's hard drive, not from the display.
The printer has no knowledge of what the display is showing. It uses its own ICC profiles to interpret colors.
Make sure you're using the correct ICC profile for your printer and paper type.

Color Management:
Color management ensures consistency between devices (display, printer, etc.). Properly managed color workflows help achieve accurate prints.
Consult your printer's user manual or online resources for specific color management instructions.

Print Test images:
Print test images with varying colors and gradients. Observe if there's a consistent issue (such as overall darkness or color shifts).
Adjust printer settings, such as brightness, contrast, and color balance, to achieve better results.

Paper and Ink Quality:
Use high-quality photo paper designed for inkjet or laser printers.
Ensure your ink cartridges are not expired or low on ink.
Remember that your display and printer use different technologies (transmitted light vs. reflected light) and have distinct color gamuts. Calibrating your monitor and understanding color management will help bridge the gap between what you see on the screen and what you get in your prints.

For detailed instructions specific to your OKI C9300 printer, refer to the user manual. What follows is how to install ICC profiles. The profile may be making your print darker.

For Windows Users:
Download the ICC Profile:
Visit the website of your paper manufacturer or other trusted sources.
Locate and download the relevant ICC profile for your printer, ink, and paper combination.
Save the profile to a convenient location (e.g., My Documents or Desktop).
Install the ICC Profile:
Right-click on the saved ICC profile file (it should appear as an RGB triangle).
Choose "Install Profile" from the context menu.
Alternatively, if you can't add the profile directly, copy it to this folder: C:/Windows/system32/spool/drivers/color.
Adjust Color Management Settings:
Open the Control Panel.
Navigate to Color Management.
Tick the "Use my settings for this device" option.
Click "Add..." and select the installed ICC profile.
In the Advanced tab, click "Change system defaults", then choose "Use Windows display calibration".
Close all windows. That's it. You are ready to rock.

Try this setting. This might be different but try to point some similar preferences and steps then you can give it a try.

Open Control Panel (I'm assuming that the OS is Windows XP) click on Printers and Faxes.
Right click the Canon iP4500
Click Properties in the drop down menu.
Click on the tab Color Management
There should be a list of color profiles if the drivers were installed properly.
They are-
(Generic)
(Matte Photo Paper)
(Photo Paper Pro)
(Photo Paper Pro Matte)
(Photo Paper Plus Glossy)
The last profile is the one you want. Just above you will see the choice of "Automatic" or "Manual". Click on Manual and this force the printer to use the highlighted profile for all printing jobs.

Now click on DEFAULT.
Go back to the main Properties page and click on the General tab.
Near the bottom you will see "Printing Preferences"
click on that.
You should now be in a Canon ip4500 Printing preferences window.
Look for Print Quality and click "Manual"
Click on "Set"
Click on "Diffusion" and just above that there is a slider that should be all the way to the right.
Click "OK" to save the settings.
Now just below you will see "Color Settings"
Click "Custom" and then "Set"
Everyone sees colors a little different but the following settings print a photo that folks I show them too really like the balance of.
Cyan 4
Magenta -12
Yellow 0
Black 0
Intensity Slider in the middle
Enable ICM not checked (disabled)
Print Type set to Photo (you might want to try the other settings here to see how the prints look to your eyes)
Brightness Normal
Click OK to save settings and return to the Main Menu.
If you now go under the Profiles tab you should see you new profile there.
You can give it a special name like "Canon Excellent Profile Settings" or some other easy to remember name. This is the profile you want to use when you print a photo.
That is it...simple eh?
Now the other important part is in PhotoShop/PS Elements. Open the program and then open any old photo.
Under File, scroll down to Print Preview and click
If not open, click on "Show More Options"
Bring up "Color Management" in the box just below the "Show More Options"
For "Source Space" click ""Document"
This setting depend on the profile you shoot in, either Adobe RGB or sRGB. You choose the one you use.
Below that there is a setting for "Print Space"
You want to match that to your source, whether Adobe RGB or sRGB.
For the "Intent" letting I choose Perceptual.
Then click "Use Black Point Compensation" and that is it. Ready to print

Tried your settings with no luck. Also tried every canon profile listed to no avail.

These are my settings:
Color management:
Color handling: Photoshop manages colors
Source space: sRGB...2.1
Printer profile: Canon MP620 Series GL2/52G
Rendering: Perpectual

Media Type: Glossy Photo paper
Print quality: standard
Effects: borderless

Printer Preferences:
Color Intensity: manual-set-everything is 0-matching:none


I am using Kodak glossy paper and I am using that setting. I am printing a digital scrapbook page with color. I used black and white pictures in the page trying to get rid of the purple trees, so it shouldn't be printing any color at all in the photos, but the limbs are still purple.

Under color settings in PSE I have checked "optimize for printing".

I am off to the store to pick up another package of photo paper..maybe HP or Epson will be better (I think those are the other 2 choices in the store)

Will check back in after I try the other papers

Instructions Download an icc profile above, then (in windows XP), go to display properties > settings tab > advanced > color management > add
Select the downloaded icc profile, set as default. You now need to reboot windows -

Start with this

1. Make sure to set the Print Quality mode in the print driver to "Standard" and the TekColor Correction to "None" before performing the next step. This will allow the job to purge only the problem color. Other settings may cause the printer to use a percentage of the other ink sticks.
   
   
2. Print approximately 50 - 100 pages of the document, as necessary, until the printed color returns to normal.

Next. This is on xerox.com downloads and drivers.

The updated sRGB Display and sRGB Vivid color tables for the WorkCentre will help with the following issues that have been found with the original factory color tables.

• RGB images contain too much yellow.
• RGB image red shades are too orange or too light.
• RGB object blues are too dark or aqua.
• CMYK objects use the sRGB Display color table when the Automatic TekColor correction is used. After the updated color tables have been downloaded to the WorkCentre, the CMYK objects will use the Commercial Press TekColor correction when Automatic is used as the TekColor correction.
  
  NOTE: The new color tables will only take affect when using the Enhanced or High Resolution / Photo print quality mode.

To update the RGB color tables:

1. Click on the [Drivers & Downloads] link under the Product Resources menu on this window to download the updated color tables to a known location on the computer's hard drive. The color table update file is located under the Color Profiles section on the Drivers and Downloads page.
2. After the file has been downloaded to the computer, send the file to the WorkCentre. See the Related Items below for additional information.

ICC = International Color Consortium.

The ICC's should be installed in the default printer directory.

Also, you may want to check the printer profile. In printer properties under the "color management" tab check to see if automatic or manual is highlighted. If manual is highlighted, be sure the print profile matches that of the paper you are using. You can select any of the included profiles as the default or add your own from a third source. Such third-source profiles are most often specified by your software provider

Open the image in photoshop or Irfanview and convert it with the mode command to a cmyk file and save it.

You didn't mention what paper you're using so for simplicity I'll assume it's an HP paper. When you installed your printer, it installed profiles for the HP papers and associated them with the printer. If you go to the Printers and Faxes folder, right-click on your printer and choose Properties, you'll get a dialog box for your printer. At the top it'll say something like HP Photosmart D7200 series Properties. Click on the Color Management tab, it'll show you a list of profiles associated with your printer. Your paper profiles will be named something like HP PS D6100_7100_7300-Advanced Photo. Don't worry about the names or selecting them, as long as they're listed you're OK. If they're not listed you'll need to re-install your printer software. Close the Properties box and the Printer and Faxes window.

Now go to LR, select your photo and go to the Print module. Scroll down the right panel until you get to the Print Job Header at the bottom. If you don't see any choices, click the triangle and open it up. Uncheck Draft Mode Printing and Print Resolution. Under Color management, click the triangles to the right of Profile:. This will open up a list of all paper profiles visible under LR. If you don't see your HP paper profile, click Other and it will list all the paper profiles on your system. Find your HP paper profiles and click the box next to each, this will make them visible in the LR drop-down. Hit Close and select the profile for the paper you're using.

Now click the Page Setup button, that will bring you to a dialog box where you can select your printer, page size and layout. Make these choices and then click on the Properties tab for your printer.

Now things get a little sticky... The HP driver has an infuriating habit of changing settings you've already made when you change something else. You'll come up in the Printing Shortcuts tab, ignore this and click on the Features tab. It's been quite a while since I used this printer so I may be wrong about the right order to do things, but here's what I remember: First, select your paper size. Click the Borderless box if that's how you want to print or uncheck it if not. Your Paper Source should be Main Tray for 5x7 or larger, Automatically Select for 4x6's that go in the top holder. Select Best or Maximum dpi for Print quality, then choose Paper Type, set it for Other Photo Papers since you'll be selecting the paper profile from LR. Hit the radio button for Print At Actual Size, go to the bottom and turn Photofix off.

Now go back to the top and click on the Color tab, select Print In Color and under Color Management, select Application Managed Colors.

Now go back to the Features tab and make sure nothing has changed. If it has, reset it, check the Color settings again, check the Features settings one last time. Then hit OK and you're back in LR.

Before you print, go over to the left panel and hit the Add button at the bottom. This will save all your settings and lots of time and aggravation by not having to go through the whole process again next time you want to print something. Name your profile with at least the size, layout and paper type you've set up and it will show up under User Templates. Then the next time you want to print on the same paper at this size, you just have to select this template.

Now hold down the Alt key, hit Print,

Try this. Worked for me immediately, including with PhotoShop

1. Go to Color Management (in Vista, just click the Windows Orb / Start Search & type in Color Management)
2. On Devices, select your display (repeat if you have multiple ones... at least I did). e.g., Syncmaster ....
   
3. Check the box: Use my settings for this device
4. Select any and all profiles you have and Remove them.

Check to see if that fixed it. You may need to restart. I didn't have to.

ICC profiles are pretty big, so you wouldn't want to waste valuable space on a memory card by attaching them to each image. As far as I know, no digital camera does this. So it is a case of remembering what colour space you shot it as and then assigning the image that profile when opening in PS. So it is not a case of converting, just assigning. In PS's colour settings, make sure to check "ask when opening" for missing profiles.
