I was fortunate enough to have a color printer as a gift this Christmas, a Canon i475D.
Prints out of it are not as represented on the screen (I do have my monitor calibrated), so I tried to find out where the problem lies. I flattened and converted the image to CMYK and threw away the color profile. On printing in PS7 I told it under color management to allow the printer to color manage. I thought by doing this PS would leave at all up to the printer and I could then tweak the printer settings. However the images come out with a yellow color cast.
As another experiment I saved the image as a PDF file and had Acrobat print the image, *NO* color cast – in fact it looked half decent (short on saturation maybe , but no cast).
So my question is, if I told PS to allow the printer to manage the color how is the yellow cast creeping in? If the print driver were at fault then I should get a color cast from Acrobat too!. PS is obviously ‘doing’ something. How can I setup PS to leave the image alone and let me tweak the printer settings only?
The Canon comes with 7 cryptically named ICM files, anyone know what they are for? (The documentation doesn’t even mention them).
