Re: Canon TS8300 series: wrong / desaturated colors

In the meantime I have generated my own icc profiles for a series of Canon papers, using a rented i1Studio spectrometer and i1Studio 1.5.1 (Mac) or argyllcms (Linux, see https://torger.se/anders/photography/argyll-print.html#toc0). Hard to say which profiles are better, but the argyll profiles have ...

Re: Canon TS8300 series: wrong / desaturated colors

Re: Canon TS8300 series: wrong / desaturated colors

You can either a) convert the image to sRGB and select sRGB in the GIMP TurboPrint print plugin (instead of "Apple RGB") The print is now much better* but, in my opinion, still not up to the Canon driver: 1) the black ramp is better resolved by the Canon driver (hard to see in the crappy ...

Canon TS8300 series: wrong / desaturated colors

Hi! I should maybe start by saying that I'm a total beginner in printing and that this is my first printing experience. So the problem may very well be behind the keyboard :wink: Evaluation image http://www.jirvana.com/printer_tests/PrinterEvaluationImage_V002.zip This is a 16 bit tiff file in the P...
