So I am new to printing for my self and been watching lots of youtube videos, many from Jose Rodriguez
 I use i1 display pro to calibrate my Sw270C monitor using Palette Master element
 I am using a colormunki photos with Calibrate CC studio to profile my photos paper.
 My printer for now is a canon ip8750 and using a generic ink cartidges and black diamond photo paper
 I am a windows 11 user and I thought that using a colormunki Photo ment that I could use, what paper I wanted and any genric ink
 I see now that in my printer settings, have to match the glossy paper I am using to say Canon Gloss Photo or Canon gloss photo II.
 When I profile my paper and print it off  to read the pattern with the colormunki photo, I choose none for printer driver in the canon settings.
 I have profilde my paper I have saved it as say "BlK dia Glossy"  When I try to print With Qimage I guess I select my paper as Canon Glossy II
 my profile I select as the one I saved BlK dia Glossy, and in the printers setting Qimage has changed the colour setting to custom and the print driver setting to ICM is this correct.
 The image I keep trying to print is a bit dark and looks a bit misty, it''s not the taken dark and the histogram is more to the right showing its brighter then darker.

  What Am I doing wrong or is it the genric ink and paper, but I thought you could use a cheaper ink and paper and profile the paper your self

Thank you for all advice.
