Lightroom - colors are all wrong

Post by nihil0 »

Greetings. I have a problem printing via Lightroom on Mac. The colors are completely off eg. yellows are almost desaturated, skin tones are pinkish instead of brownish, the whole image coming out is blueish instead of yellowish etc.

Printer: Pixma TS8350
Driver: PrintFab 2.98-2 Home
macOS: Ventura 13.6.1 (22G313)
Lightroom: 12.5

I use Printfab only as a driver without any color profile set and manage color profiles via Lightroom. The color profile was created with Calibrite ColorChecker Studio.

Also, sometimes it happens that those settings reset to default settings eg. from Glossy paper to Plain paper, from No Color to Perceptive. I read somewhere that macOS Ventura screwed some printers and for this specific reason I bought new Home license that supports Ventura and Sonoma but still it is very wrong.

As a last resort I decided to recalibrate my printer (I last calibrated it a year ago) and now suddenly the prints look OK. I have no idea why is that.
