Using ICC in Windows 10

[denny2]

Hi, I have switched from Windows 7 to Windows 10.
I have the Canon Pro-10 and have been using Precision colors ink and ICC.
I installed the Icc profiles in Windows 10, but when I print I cannot find the Icc profiles to use them.
How do I use them in Windows 10?
Thanks!

Thanks for the link. It looks like they want you to use Photoshop or another program and not Windows to use the profiles for Red River Paper Icc.

Most times you need software to use ICCs BUT you should know that Canon drivers are now modern and they allow you to use ICCs without special software.

This should be enough to allow the use of ICCs without high end software.

The post was to answer your specific question of where are the 'missing' ICC files, which the link addresses, not how to use the ICC files.

Did you try a search for *.icm or *.icc files on the system drive to locate the profiles ?

Usually in "Local Disk (C)/Windows/System32/spool/drivers/color"

I find it useful to create a shortcut desktop icon, that takes you straight to the "color" folder. You can then look through your ICM profiles without delay.

I'm sorry Stratman I can find them in spool, driver, color, I just cant find them when I go to print using windows 10. The option for them is not there like they were on windows 7

Obvious you did not read the PDF file. The instructions and locations are clearly stated there. Same for following posters.

Other thing is after downloading, you need to locate the file that was downloaded.
Check your browser setting and find where the browser places downloaded files.

When you find the file, then you can instruct both Win 7 and Win 10 to install them into the OS folders. This is done by right clicking on the file. Windows will know what the file is about and then you instruct Windows to install. The process and locations is identical in both Win7 AND Win10. Thereafter, you can find the files in the proper location that Windows and Adobe etc. expects them to be.

The above is identical for both Win 7 and Win 10, same method, locations etc. A switch of OS should not be the issue here.
