Hmm, so the profiling step alone should do the trick then? I thought
profiling only characterized the printer and you needed the calibration step
in order to actually change the printing behaviour. If the profiling step by
itself is enough to create prints matching my (with argyll) calibrated
monitor, I must be doing something wrong somewhere...
After following the tutorial and profiling the printer the gamut shape and
softproof look perfect. Very similar to what I get from PM5. The printout
using this profile results in a horrible yellow-brown cast though. I follow
my usual workflow while printing: windows CM is turned off in the canon
driver and photoshop manages colours using the generated profile. I'm pretty
sure it's not double profiling anywhere.
I must be doing something wrong somewhere but I literally read the tutorial
a 100 times and tried everything and always get the same result: a strong
yellow brown cast together with totally blocked shadows.
Anyone has any idea what's happening or....a link to another tutorial to
double check?
