Need help with print colors: Canon Pro-200

Post by dehlers43 »

Help!
I have a Canon Pro-200 and I'm having a terrible time getting the colors to print accurately when using PSP Pro2022. All other programs print correctly.
I've tried using Canon photo paper, Kirkland, etc.
I've used multiple setting configurations, trying to find something that works but so far, no luck I didn't have this problem with previous versions of PSP. (I've used Canon Pro printers for years).
I'm so tempted to ditch PSP after being loyal user since the early Jasc days but I can't find a program that has a print layout feature like PSP. (I'm a scrapbooker so I print photo sizes other than the typical 4x6, 5x7, etc. Having that print layout feature allows me to print multiple photo sizes on a single page)>
I'm running a 64 bit Lenovo desktop, Windows 10 Home.

Any suggestions?
Thanks!

If you didn't have a problem with previous versions of PSP, I suspect something is different with your settings in PSP 2022. Did you play with the Color Management of PSP?

I didn’t start tinkering with settings until I realized my photos weren’t printing correctly.

What do you mean by "not printing correctly"? Could you post a partial or comparison scan of the problem?

The colors don't match the monitor, especially blues. The same photo will print out with correct colors in other programs such as Paint and Perfectly Clear. I prefer using PSP for printing photos since I can use the print layout function. Saves me a lot of paper and frustration....:)
I have some time constraints right now due to an upcoming trip but I'll try to print an example.

Have you tried disabling Color Management in PSP to see if that makes a difference?
