Hi again Fred,

You really made my day, since per your advice my problem is solved with one click in the Pro 9000 printer driver "Matching" tab by specifying "None".
I just purchased this printer a few days ago and I was going through so much frustration that I could not even sleep well for the past two nights, it just bugged the heck out of me. Without your help I would have never found the solution and I am very grateful to you. Apparently Photoshop CS4 does not pay attention what is in the printer driver's Matching tab since I did not have any problem there even before I specified None.

Thanks again,
Julius

Hi Fred,

Thank you very kindly for your response, without your help I would have never been able to find it in my driver. It has never crossed my mind to click on the "Matching" tab. I have not tried it yet but I am almost certain that this will solve my problem.
I will try it a bit later and let you know.

Thanks again,
Julius

Hi Ray,

Thank you for your reply, if you refer to the Color management section of Qimage, in the Printer Output Profile I put the same Paper Profile: RR UPSatin CanPro9000 Mk2.icc what I have been using in Photoshop CS4 also. The Epson 3800 Printer Paper profile has icm extension, the Red River paper profile has icc extension, I do not know if this would make any difference as far as the profile is concerned.

I have an Epson Stylus Pro 3800 for quite a while and have been using it with Qimage Pro Studio since I received it (almost a couple of years ago) without any problems. I have been using Red River Ultra Pro Satin paper for most of my printing with their provided paper profile and the results are excellent. I do not have any discrepancy between printing test images in Photoshop and the larger prints in Qimage, they are identical.
However since I like the regular inkjet ink brighter colors more than the pigment colors, I just purchased a Canon Pixma Pro 9000 Mark II printer. It produces excellent prints in Photoshop CS4 using the Red River Ultra Pro Satin paper profile but I have problems with the color reproduction in Qimage Pro Studio. Using the same setup as I am using in Photoshop, same profile and no color adjustments in the printer setup, all my prints are coming out way too red. If I let the printer control the colors, not Qimage it is much better but too saturated and lighter than it should be. I am sure that there is a problem somewhere where Qimage does not see the printer setup the same way as Photoshop does but I cannot find what the problem might be. I know that I do not have an option in the Canon printer setup to specify no color control such as I have in the Epson setup, but I do not put any values anywhere in the manual color controls and this is the only option I have in the Canon Pro 9000 MK II printer setup.
Does anybody have one of these Canon printers and getting good results in Qimage? I would really appreciate any input so I would not have to use Photoshop for my 13-x19”prints.
Thanks for any input in advance,
Julius
