Hello, I'm having some trouble with color reproducibility with my Pro-10 and Precision Color inks. After making the switch to 100% PC ink, I have a magenta cast to the images, and it is still evident after flushing and refilling the PM, M, PC, C and R ink carts.

I am using Mike's most recent icc's when soft proofing, and in the printer properties window in LR, I have the manual color adjustment set to none, and I use the icc profile in the color management section of the Print Job panel in LR.

You can see a print comparison of OEM to PC ink here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/rcjeske/30462197711/in/dateposted/ The bottom set of prints are with OEM ink, the top set, using PC ink. You can see the magenta cast in the sky of the top right side image, and in the clouds of the top left side image. The bottom images, with OEM ink, are nearly identical to what I see with the soft proof in LR.

I have emailed with Mike about this, and he has offered many different suggestions, but we are stumped. I've reinstalled the printer and driver, with no effect. I've tried both perceptual and relative rendering, with no effect.

If you have any ideas, I'd love to hear them. I'm not willing to continue to print with the expensive canon OEM inks, and I've read many success stories regarding PC ink, so I'm not willing to throw in the towel yet.

Thanks!

Ryan

Are you using the paper and the driver settings the icc-profile was made for ?

Ink Stained Fingers, yes, I'm using the correct paper. Can you expand on what you mean by the driver settings? I've selected the proper media type, print quality, and turned off color management, but perhaps I'm missing something there...

Thanks,

Ryan

Then most likely have all the settings correct - paper choice, ICM off, quality settings, there had been some issues with the color rendering a few months ago with Adobe software, but I'm not familiar with the details.
You may find more info here to see if you are affected

Looks like a custom ICC is called made by other software. I've tested the one I made and it works fine on my Pro-10 using standard test images.

Ink, thanks. I'll take a look at it. Mikling, I'll work on getting a custom profile. Thanks.
