Specifying Color Correction You can specify the color correction method suited to the type of document to be printed. Normally, the printer driver adjusts the colors by using Canon Digital Photo Color so that data is printed with color tints that most people prefer. When you want to print by using the color space (Adobe RGB or sRGB) of the image data effectively or by specifying a printing ICC profile from your application software, select ColorSync.
Interpreting the ICC Profile
Optimal Photo Printing of Image Data When people print images taken with digital cameras, they sometimes feel that the printed color tones differ from those of actual image or those displayed on the monitor. To get the print results as close as possible to the desired color tones, you must select a printing method that is best suited to the application software used or to your purpose. Color Management Devices such as digital cameras, scanners, monitors, and printers handle color differently.
Adjusting Colors with the Printer Driver You can specify the color correction function of the printer driver to print with color tints that most people prefer through the use of Canon Digital Photo Color. When printing from an application software that can identify ICC profiles and allows you to specify them, use a printing ICC profile in the application software, and select settings for color management. The procedure for adjusting colors with the printer driver is as follows: 1.
Printing with ICC Profiles (Specifying an ICC Profile from the Application Software) When you print from Adobe Photoshop, Canon Digital Photo Professional, or any application software that can identify input ICC profiles and allows you to specify such profiles, printer uses the color management system (ColorSync) built-into Mac OS when printing.
Adjusting Contrast
Printing with ICC Profiles (Specifying an ICC Profile from the Printer Driver) Print from an application software that cannot identify or specify input ICC profiles by using the color space of the input ICC profile (sRGB) found in the data. 1. Select Color Matching from the pop-up menu of the Print Dialog 2. Select color correction Select ColorSync. You can leave Profile set to Automatic.
Interpreting the ICC Profile When you need to specify the machine profile, select the ICC profile for the paper to print on. The ICC profiles installed for this machine appear as follows. • (1) is the model name of the printer. • (2) is the media type. This notation corresponds to the following media type: GL: Photo Paper Plus Glossy II PT: Photo Paper Pro Platinum SG/LU: Photo Paper Plus Semi-gloss / Photo Paper Pro Luster MP: Matte Photo Paper • (3) is the print quality.
Adjusting Color Balance You can adjust the color tints when printing. Since this function adjusts color balance of the output by changing the ink ratios of each color, it changes the total color balance of the document. Use the application software when you want to change the color balance significantly. Use the printer driver only when you want to adjust the color balance slightly.
Click Print. When you execute print, the document is printed with the adjusted color balance. Important When the Grayscale Printing check box is checked for Quality & Media, the color balance (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow) appear grayed out and are unavailable. If you select ColorSync for Color Matching, then the color balance (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow) appear grayed out and is unavailable.

The following sample shows the case when the intensity is increased so that all colors become more intense when the image data is printed. No adjustment Higher intensity The procedure for adjusting intensity is as follows: 1. Select Color Options from the pop-up menu of the Print Dialog 2.
