Hi Mike
Thanks for the information.
It does surprise me that after printing perfectly for years, a strange power surge could change everything.
Again though changing from none to icm has solved my problem


Thank

Hi Again
I got the 8.5 X 11 inch Pro Platinum paper last night. I have a picture of Nicole Kidman on the wall so I found the original picture and using q image and the matching set at .icm I printed the picture. They are exactly the same.
I don't know why but I am not about too look a gift horse in the mouth.
Of course since it is getting so hard to get cartridges for the 9000 I imagine it will be only a while before i have to move on to another printer.

Thanks again for the help

Hi Mike
Thanks for replying
I didn't know about the job logs. So I opened one from when it was working properly and my setting are correct. Yes I did a nozzle check and all was OK.
The other thing I don't understand is if I set the matching to .icm rather than none or driver matching I get the correct picture although until the 8.5 X 10 comes in I can't be sure. Using none or driver matching gives the picture that same red hue

Hi I have been using the canon pro 9000 mk2 for around 8 years with no problems.
Yesterday we had an outage and after the electricity came back on I noticed that my printer and q-image  settings were changed in some areas. I changed everything back but when I print now there i a  red tint.
My settings are as follows
1.Quick setup  I have checked off: photo printing,color intensity (manual), media type (pro platinum), print quality (high)
2.Main. Media type(pro platinum) print quality(high), color intensity(manual)
3.On set I leave alone all color adjustment boxes
4. I set matching to none.
When I used paint shop pro to print, It did fairly close. I ran out of 8.5X11 and am using 4X6. Oddly though Paint shop is using cnbjprn3.icm which seems to be a generic canon driver from 2005.
I used that icm in place of the pro platinum icm and the picture looked ok. Until I get a resupply of my 8.5X11 can't be sure.
In Qimage I am using the pro platinum icm CNB9TNAO.icm And yes I did try all of the pro platinum icm's to see if any worked. They all did not
My question is  what am I doing wrong or what am I missing.

Thanks

No I wasn't judging it. I think that print preview was already on. I do not remember putting it on. It never bothered me that their was no print preview when printing with the canon pro software and Adobe CS5 Trust me I was printing and with print preview on you get prints with a pink hue. Turn it off and no pink hue.

Bingo  I have a friend who owns a small photo shop and he came over this morning. I explained my tale of woe and he said he would look at it.

First thing he noted was that print preview was on. He said that was causing the pink problem. I'm thinking he's been spending too much time around the chemicals but I did turn it off and then with the manual setting at None I printed with adobe cs5 and Q-image and got perfect images with both.

Bottom line  the problem was picture preview being turned on. You know I spent close to 2 hrs with the Canon techs and not once was that brought up. Then I realized that in their plugin that print preview wasn't even an option.  Oh well I am a happy camper.

Thank you

Hello I know that this problem has come up before and if you do a search you will find it a lot but I thought I would try and see if anything new is known.

This is the problem with the Canon Pro9000 MK11.

If I use either Qimage or Adobe CS5  to color manage the print I get the pink bloom blush what ever you would like to call it.

My settings in Qimage are calibrated color monitor(spyder2express)

Printer icc is for canon pro9000 MK11 PT 1 photo paper pro platinum
I do use pro platinum for all my prints.

Rest of settings are the presets.

When I go to the printer properties all boxes are checked off for manual.

On main page manual I hit set and I get Color adjustment and I make sure all are at 0
Next the matching for color correction I set to None.

Doing that will result in a pink complexion. Also If I use driver matching I also get the pink complexion. Only way not to is to pick ICM which I am guessing is 2 profiles being used.
So to sum up of the three options on matching  none, driver matching, and ICM only ICM allows for no pink problems

I also installed the canon easy-photoprint-pro which is a plugin to adobe essentials which came with the printer. If I use that software the picture is perfect.Using the canon pro software when I go to color adjustment on correction I set all values to 0. Under color Management I use for Color Mode Enable iCC profile. The other 2 options are:  Photo color and Linear tone
For printer profile it is the same as qimage  ie the canon pro9000mk11 1 photo paper pro platinum. And rendering intent is set to Perceptual

One strange point If I do use qimage and pick ICM for color correction I get a perfect picture and it is slightly better than the one printed with the canon software. Maybe that is because of the sharpening though.

Well there you have it. I am hoping that someone has found out what causes this problem because I would rather not use canon's plugin. But if I must so be it.

Thanks
