print + curve correction

guenter Poelz · Post by **guenter Poelz** » Thu Dec 20, 2007 9:16 am

I have PI10 and PI11SE and Canon Pixma IP4000 printer (Win XPSP2)
The printout does not show the picture corrected with the curve option in the print menue.
When printed to pdf-printer (dopdf) the correction is applied.

Did I miss any setting?
Thanks for your help,
Guenter

How do you know the correction is applied when printing to pdf printer? Do you print that out or look at it on the monitor?

I think your user name G& #252;nter Poelz must have got messed up when you registered it. I have altered it to

I think Guenter has made a common mistake and used the German "Umlaut" ( a U with two dots on top) for his name. There are more than just the u but these characters cannot be displayed correctly world wide.

Yes, I looked to the generated pdf-file at my monitor.

That's what I thought. Your monitor is badly calibrated. That's why the colors look different in print.

Have a read of this http://www.normankoren.com/makingfineprints1A.html

No, my monitor is well calibrated. Insert a weird curve in the print options, eg. red totally up, blue totally down and look at tehe print preview/printout.

I made one more test:

I installed my good old IP5 and
surprise: the curve tool under print works with my Pixma!

In my opinion this is one of the strong features of IP.
It allows to quickly adapt for different papers and inks.

Is there any chance that Ulead makes a patch to repair this fault
in IP10/11 (and in others?)?
BTW: this tool is also not described in the help of IP10/11.

Many thanks for your help,
Guenter
