Solved: Printing with own profile
Posted: Sun Jan 11, 2009 9:35 pm
I am using v 2.06 and I am more than happy with the results using a Canon i9950, Canon paper and ink.
However, I have recently changed to a CISS system and started using non Canon paper (Permajet). I have 'tweaked' the settings to give reasonable results, but in a effort to get more accurate prints, I have used a Spyder3Print to create my own profiles.
This was done under windows (of course!), then copied the icc profile to my Ubuntu 7.10 laptop, set up a new profile to use in TurboPrint and started to print.
Obviously I have confirmed that the profile is OK under windows - in fact the quality was superb in both colour and black and white - exactly what I intended.
The problem is that no matter what adjustments I make in TurboPrint I always get a print that appears correct color/contrast wise, but is simply 3/4 stops too dark. Reverting to my old 'tweaked' settings are acceptable and reasonably well balanced for brightness.
I am at a complete loss - can anybody make any further suggesting what to try please?
