New Printer angst.....

[fangelico]

Just purchased the Canon Pixma 9000 MII.. great printer generally. Having trouble determining the best workflow for best color matching... Looking for anyone using this printer with Aperture who would like to share their worflow and settings.... I use an iMac 24" display (not calibrated)

Ask Martin Bailey, He's a Canon printer user. He's got a few podcasts, too, I believe on the subject

I've been messing around with ICC color profiles lately in photoshop, and it was driving me crazy too. Some of the colors can't get printed because of the paper you choose. I found it dulls down the highlights, and it's very difficult to edit. I found that if i couldn't get bright enough colors on glossy paper, I'd switch the profile for metallic paper.
