But what process do you use to match the color calibration of your printer to your monitor. The canon printers let you tweak the levels of the individual pigments but I find I need to do several rounds of test printing to get it to match well and it often needs to be tweaked when replacing the ink.
@@louisburley1597 they don’t for the same reason they often want sRGB files; because making it more complicated leads to more problems. Having the customer do any of the printing profile stuff could lead to all sorts of confusion and incorrect procedures.
@@darkforcesjedi I use Apple displays and those generally are spot on. I make a print, hold it next to the monitor and eye ball the brightness levels I want to make sure it's on point.

That’s awesome..Been a photographer for 22 years and I’m only 33 years young and just started printing based on @daniel milnor’s advice to use decent paper in even a “crummy” all-in-one printer. The results are fan-freaking-tastic!!! I now love printing! So thank you for sharing this with your broad audience! Really. Printing is the chefs kiss to having made a great photo. BTW, any chance you will be coming out to Vegas anytime soon? I’m the dude you met last year with the prints. They were just little Costco prints but man it would be good to see you again and show you my new all-in-one printer photos haha.. etc etc.
If no profile is available for your favourite paper, don’t despair. Experiment with profiles made for other similar papers from different brands using 4x6 or 5x7 printing to see if you can spot the differences and choose the profile that best meets your expectation.
Canon Print Studio Pro plug-in for Lightroom turns the hair pulling ordeal of printing from LR into a fairly straightforward process. Glad you recommended it.
I use my 44" inch Canon image prograf 4100 for printing on canvas every day for my art gallery, the best printer I have ever owned. Red River is also a great paper company.
OBA's (optical brightening agents) are a big deal especially if you are selling your work. Any paper with OBA's will shift and yellow to some degree over time. I personally use paper without any OBA's if I plan to sell my work and esp for anything signed and numbered
Another thing that is very important...the color temperature of the lighting in the space where your prints are being displayed. Whether that's in your house, a lobby, and art gallery, etc. If your monitor is color calibrated for 6500K, and that's the monitor you color correct and edit on and it looks great, it's gonna look horrible if the lighting in the room where the print is going is 3200K. Make sure you light your prints accordingly.
i was chatting with an interior designer once and she pointed out that the environment outside windows also gives colours to a room and the paint or prints in it. so if you have a green lawn and a south facing window it will give a different vibe than a grey building and a west facing window. also good to factor in the time of day the room is being used most of the time. thought that was neat
@@bruce-le-smith I shoot a lot of theatrical events for small theatre companies and in one of them, the lighting in the lobby where some headshots and performance shots are displayed is so the wrong color temp I had to create a specific print profile to make the prints for them look correct in their lobby.
Thanks for the video and the tips, ESPECIALLY the Printer Profile tip, it's SO important.. I have an older, smaller Canon printer and use different papers depending on the mood I'm trying to create along with the image... Moab's Slick Rock Metallic Pearl 260 is a fantastic glossy metallic option, and is super sharp, contrasty and dynamic.. again, thanks!!
I've used Red River, Ilford, and Canson papers, and I keep coming back to Canon's own Pro Platinum for my Pro-10. Honestly, the quality is just as good or better than the others, but the deciding factor is that the price is better. My second favorite is Canson Baryta Photographique II. I've had issues with Red River paper curling or the ink scuffing when I cut my prints.
This is actually helpful for me because I have been using (without knowing) Canon paper profile with non-Canon paper for my Canon printer. I just downloaded the paper profile for the paper I use.
Makes some sense BUT I have used Red River for over 10 years now and I'll tell you loading printer profiles is a one time thing and it's amazingly simple. Once loaded, they always appear in the drop down as well.
I recently picked up the Spyder Print from Datacolor to add to my calibration system. Made a beautiful difference being able to make my own profiles based on what medium I print on.
Luster works the best in my view. I also use Canon Pro printer and I find out the best outcomes you get it’s with Canon paper. Obviously you can experiment but if you want a quality, the best way to finalise it’s to use original printer company materials. The seam to work more accurate.
If you are looking at Canon printers other than Pro series and own a Mac, be super careful. Canon made the G650 (and other G series printers) Airprint only - there is no way to use custom paper profiles from companies like Fotospeed. I pre-ordered mine and am waiting patiently for it to break. It has been annoyingly reliable.
I shoot exclusively Red River Fro and have sold literally thousands of prints (mostly 11 x14). I photograph sports and LOVE the bright Pecos River Gloss from Red River. I also love it's price !
Picked up a Canon Pro-1000 at your recommendation, using Red River Papers. Gorgeous prints! Only “problem” is the amount of ink it uses when agitating. A complete set of 12 ink cartridges and maintenance cartridge is over $600. It uses a lot of ink when turning it on or agitating. Need to wait and make a lot of prints at once to avoid as many power on cycles as possible.
That’s what I do. If you don’t print a lot, you definitely will end up with a lot of wasted ink. One or two prints every so often doesn’t end up cutting it unfortunately.
Great video! I bought the pro 300 and let me tell you printing your photos is great. Expensive yes. But nothing beats giving someone a print. I’m to new to sell maybe one day. Cannon does make it easy.
Great video Jared, I have had the Canon imagePRO-1000 for a couple years now and love it, yes at first I did only use Canon media, but not any more. There are other alternatives that work just fine.
Hi, I was looking at the Canon Pro 1000 as a replacement for the Epson R3000 is it true it dumps ink every 5 days if not used and if so how much does it waste as I only print about 20 large prints per year.
JUST IN TIME! I just got a Canon Pro-300 and a bunch of RedRiver Paper to play with! interested to see how the Arctic Polar Luster Metallic looks. That Soft Gloss Rag is fantastic...
Strangely, I get the best results by setting my printer to use my calibration profile on my monitor, "Driver," no matter the paper (and I use a combination of Hahnemule, RR, and Canson). I don't know why this is true but it has been all along on my pro1000.
I only use the small canon1300 selphy, unfortunately i'm locked in on canon paper. But i love the portabilaty and the possibility of giving the gift of photography at the climbing comps
I do check out many of your videos and for some reason over the years the printing with Canon printers videos have been my favorites. You would think I would own one… “Canon Printer” Perhaps I will soon! Thanks loved this paper video.
Thank you very much for this video! Is there a printing software able to create nice white margins around the photos ? Canon doesn't provide it for all printers :) Have a nice day !
My question is this, can you use a sharpie and sign ON the ink and not the white border? I have the Epson 800 and when you sign on the ink there's weird white streaks - could be signed 5 mins after, or a year later, done both. Love the prints it produces, but that's an issue for our usage. Think autographed sports photos where you don't get to usually decide where it's signed.
@@froknowsphoto The Canon Prograf Pro-1000, looks like it will do anything I need it to. Thank you for all of your incite, you've been a great help over the years
Fantastic video on the canon imageprograf 1000 pro... more of those... Love them, thanks! But but but... how to get the red river paper in europe (Denmark)?
Great video on the paper, but what about the ink? I admit I don't do much printing these days as I tend to just share images online, but I do occasionally print off something for a friend or neighbour and I never use official Epson/Canon inks, what are your experiences with third party ink manufactures?
Thanks Jared. Great vid. I saw the earlier one re printing. I have the Canon Pro Graf 300. Totally excellent printer. As I work off of a Mac Mini after moving over from Windows I found that it's not very friendly when configuring printers for a print job. Windows Print is much better, in my view. That is, until I saw that earlier video and the plug-in that Canon provides for Lightroom. Installed it. Makes life much easier now. As for those papers you've listed, unfortunately none of them are avalable here in Australia and the ones which are, say from the local stores which sell printers, paper and so on, they don't have an online presence much less profiles to download. Tell Red River to start selling its products here, please. Thanks again. Martin
Thank you Jared! This video was so informative. I do have a Canon printer. I'm learning LR Classic. I'm always confused though with image size vs paper size. I guess the problem is that I crop my photos. I do keep the ratio when I crop. Does the profile just keep your photo centered when you choose to have a border? I'll play and figure it out. Oh, and the luster paper is so nice. I'm never tried that. I'm going to take a look at the Red River web site.
What is the purpose of setting and editing all the colors with a calibrated monitor if the paper brings it's own color tendency? I understand that for special paper (e.g. metal papers) but not for "normal" paper. Like you said polar white, warm white - why? It's confusing!
Was tempted to get one of these, but with how little I would need to print and a f ull set of new inks running $700, I would be concerned I have the problem I have with other inkjet based printers where the cartridge gums up before it is empty from lack of use. Looks like an amazing printer though!
Great information Jared! I will have to see how to do this with my workflow, I use GNU/Linux with DarkTable and GIMP. I have a Canon iP8720 and paper by Canon Photopaper Pro Luster and Epson Metallic Photo Paper Luster. I haven't done much printing and struggled with my first print when I got the printer and paper to get a good print. Then more recently I was horribly disappointed with a print and just moved on figured I'd troubleshoot another day or just use a lab if in a pinch. Maybe a profile would solve the bad print issue I had. Thank you!
On Linux you won't have Canon's official drivers for the printer, which installs the ICC profiles for the various Canon brand papers as part of the install process. So far as I know you can't download these from Canon directly, so you'll need to copy them from an existing Windows/Mac install, then figure out where to put the ICC files in your Linux distro to make it usable for the printer. And then also to hope that DarkTable and GIMP have colour managed print capabilities, not just basic print options.
Hi, I would be very grateful for some advice please. I'm in the process of publish my first cookbook, and I have obtained printed proof copies of my book from 5 different professional book printing companies, including Amazon KDP. The problem is, whilst the text comes out great, the photos don't look anywhere near as good as they do on my computer screen i.e., the pictures on my computer screen are very sharp and vivid, but the printed pictures in the books are shockingly poor as they're flat, dull, low definition, and nowhere near as sharp, and this is with all 5 printed copies from 5 different professional book printing companies. The pictures were taken with a quality DSLR camera, and as I said, the pictures are of very high clarity and definition, but the printed pictures don't look good - can you advise why that might be? Thanks.
Hii Jared... As in the video you have printed straight from Lightroom, but if you had to export and then print.. what settings would you use ?? Can you make a video on this and also the difference in export settings such as exporting at 75% or 50% ... Would be a great help .. I have seen a bunch of video which say export at 100% but i have tried exporting from 50% to 100% .. couldn't notice much difference apart from file size. Will a pic exported at 50% settings affect the quality in printing large prints??
The more pixels available in your export, the larger you can print at a higher dpi. But it also depends what size you are printing and how far away the viewer is. If your camera is 40 megapixels and you export at 50% so it then becomes a 20 megapixel file, you can still print A1 size easily, but you'd have less DPI at A0 size vs the 45mp file. Hope that makes sense
I use a brother printer and I use cheap photopaper "CUYI" brand. I print A4 sizes and they look amazing on screen and in print. Been doing it for over 2 years now.
In the video you said you use both the Canon PRO-1000 and the Canon PRO-300. In your opinion is there any difference in quality between the Canon PRO-1000 and the PRO-300? I understand you lose a bit of size of prints but besides that have you noticed any real difference?
i need info on aspect ratio / resizing images for print. any good info out there. i tend to go down a rabbit hole and i dont think it really answers what im trying to figure out. also about the borders / margins.
Hi Jared. I have a Question, I have a bunch of negatives from mom of when I was a kid, I’m trying to scan/ digitize the negatives, but good scanners are quite expensive, I seen your video with the Nikon es-2 but haven’t seen a whole lot for Canon will it work with a Canon Aps-c? (R7) I don’t know how wide of lens I’ll need since there will be a crop….I’ll also need to buy a macro lens bc I do not have a macro. Thanks!
I'd really like to get a printer soon. I like the price of the Pro-200 but it seems like the stretch to the pro-300 is worth it for pigment inks and more compatibility. My original idea was to get something cheaper like an IP 8720 just to start out. What do you think?
jared polin how do i make lightroom see canon printer to do what you said in video. when i go to part you said to look does not show my canon printer so i have to use lightroom for it
Jarod, I use RR paper and their profiles . Color is excellent but I seem to have to lighten the picture in the canon print plugin. Do you have that issue? How do you avoid the darkness issue?
it's not an issue, it's the fact that your images on screen have light coming from behind them aka back lit. Where as a print does not have light behind it, thus making it look darker.
Not exactly. The paper manufacturers won't make profiles available for consumer printers generally speaking, so the only way to get a paper profile is buy the tool to make your own, or send a printed sample away to a company who can make one for you.
Well done, thank you. The Palo Duro Softgloss is my go-to after a lot of trial and error so I'm glad to hear your comments on it. I describe it as the sweet spot between matte and gloss. It's a lot like the Canson Platine, which I sometimes order for different size/faster shipping. And the Canon Professional Print & Layout Software gets me consistently excellent results; I'll have to try it as a Lightroom plugin, so how they mesh. Thanks again.
How amazingly topical. I *just* bought an Epson P900 (basically Epson’s equivalent to that Canon Pro1000) a few days ago I’ve been absolutely loving this thing. My mind has been blown and I’m having so much fun
The link you provided for Canon pro printers leads to their page for Canon PRO 1000 inks, not to the page for their pro printers or other Canon printers. Please correct the link. Thanks. Also, your Canon ImagePROGRAF PRO-1000 printer isn't listed on Canon USA's site; but it is shown on B&H and presumably other retailers. Does Canon not sell that printer directly?
Does anybody know why the colour profile is embedded in the print media instead of being selectable in the printer software before printing? Would make much more sense to me tbh...
I updated my windows 10 and driver does not work anymore, very frustrating that Canon does not update their driver's and I can't print edge to edge without their very outdated pro tool driver.
Spend a few hundred on calibration hardware and make your own profiles! Downloading profiles is just giving uou an average. Creating your own profiles can make the cheapest printer give better results than much more expensive printers.
honestly no. I've printed thousands of prints between two pro 1000's. I don't do a ton of cleaning if I am running a good number of prints in a row. Now if you don't use the printer often and turn it on and barley use it, and sit and then turn on, it's always going to clean. So there's always going to be some waste.
The ink tank system appears to be much better than the cartridge system ruclips.net/user/postUgkxciSwynMJ7PnUvvx11rewiu-yFBkZTl53 and a lot cheaper to run. The machine was easy to set up. A small point but I thought they'd be a USB cable included to help with the set up but there was none. I've been using it now for a few weeks and it seems like a good product and superior to my previous printers which were all troublesome HP machines.
Ink tank for general purpose printing, sure. Cost effective and does the job. But those are dye based inks (black maybe pigment but it's a toss up) and the printers generally don't have more than the basic 4 ink colours.

Then more recently I was horribly disappointed with a print and just moved on figured I'd troubleshoot another day or just use a lab if in a pinch. Maybe a profile would solve the bad print issue I had. Thank you!
On Linux you won't have Canon's official drivers for the printer, which installs the ICC profiles for the various Canon brand papers as part of the install process. So far as I know you can't download these from Canon directly, so you'll need to copy them from an existing Windows/Mac install, then figure out where to put the ICC files in your Linux distro to make it usable for the printer. And then also to hope that DarkTable and GIMP have colour managed print capabilities, not just basic print options.
Jared, is there a black and white inkjet art paper that falls into the same look as the old Agfa Portriga Rapid?
What an information packed video. Thank you.
Good informative video Jared
Hi, I would be very grateful for some advice please.
I'm in the process of publish my first cookbook, and I have obtained printed proof copies of my book from 5 different professional book printing companies, including Amazon KDP.
The problem is, whilst the text comes out great, the photos don't look anywhere near as good as they do on my computer screen i.e., the pictures on my computer screen are very sharp and vivid, but the printed pictures in the books are shockingly poor as they're flat, dull, low definition, and nowhere near as sharp, and this is with all 5 printed copies from 5 different professional book printing companies.
The pictures were taken with a quality DSLR camera, and as I said, the pictures are of very high clarity and definition, but the printed pictures don't look good - can you advise why that might be?
Thanks.
Very informative. Thanks, Jared!
Hii Jared... As in the video you have printed straight from Lightroom, but if you had to export and then print.. what settings would you use ?? Can you make a video on this and also the difference in export settings such as exporting at 75% or 50% ... Would be a great help .. I have seen a bunch of video which say export at 100% but i have tried exporting from 50% to 100% .. couldn't notice much difference apart from file size. Will a pic exported at 50% settings affect the quality in printing large prints??
I use the plugin to print, not the actual print mode in Lightroom.
The more pixels available in your export, the larger you can print at a higher dpi. But it also depends what size you are printing and how far away the viewer is. If your camera is 40 megapixels and you export at 50% so it then becomes a 20 megapixel file, you can still print A1 size easily, but you'd have less DPI at A0 size vs the 45mp file. Hope that makes sense
Always used Red River, best IMO
One thing you didn't mention is ink. How important it is (Or not) to use Canon genuine ink?
I use a brother printer and I use cheap photopaper "CUYI" brand. I print A4 sizes and they look amazing on screen and in print. Been doing it for over 2 years now.
In the video you said you use both the Canon PRO-1000 and the Canon PRO-300. In your opinion is there any difference in quality between the Canon PRO-1000 and the PRO-300? I understand you lose a bit of size of prints but besides that have you noticed any real difference?
I prefer the 1000 as it has more inks for making prints.
Do you use a control set of photos to test your printer configurations?
Is there a recommended printer to buy?
great information - thank you
I think buying paper is something you should do in person.
So many possibilities.
i need info on aspect ratio / resizing images for print. any good info out there. i tend to go down a rabbit hole and i dont think it really answers what im trying to figure out. also about the borders / margins.
Excellent video.
Hi Jared. I have a Question, I have a bunch of negatives from mom of when I was a kid, I’m trying to scan/ digitize the negatives, but good scanners are quite expensive, I seen your video with the Nikon es-2 but haven’t seen a whole lot for Canon will it work with a Canon Aps-c? (R7) I don’t know how wide of lens I’ll need since there will be a crop….I’ll also need to buy a macro lens bc I do not have a macro. Thanks!
Look up a video I did over the pandemic for using a macro lens and Nikon adapter.
I'd really like to get a printer soon. I like the price of the Pro-200 but it seems like the stretch to the pro-300 is worth it for pigment inks and more compatibility. My original idea was to get something cheaper like an IP 8720 just to start out. What do you think?
I like that better
@@froknowsphoto you mean you like the pro-300 or starting with an 8720?
If you print a lot with highest quality you’re going to pay a fortune for ink with the pro-300 and ordering more ink all the time
jared polin how do i make lightroom see canon printer to do what you said in video. when i go to part you said to look does not show my canon printer so i have to use lightroom for it
Jared - is there a way to simulate the different print paper types BEFORE printing? i.e. soft proofing.
not that I know of. I know Red River has sample packs you can get to test out.
@@froknowsphoto dang. I kind of hate spending money unnecessarily lol
Like this video Jared very cool 👍👍
Is there a different prosumer printer you’d recommend? Looking to print mostly 5x7s but I don’t think I’ll print every week.
that's a tough one in that size, not really.
@@froknowsphoto even if it was bigger but didn’t have to run it constantly to jam or the ink starts acting funny. Any recommendations?
Jarod, I use RR paper and their profiles . Color is excellent but I seem to have to lighten the picture in the canon print plugin. Do you have that issue? How do you avoid the darkness issue?
it's not an issue, it's the fact that your images on screen have light coming from behind them aka back lit. Where as a print does not have light behind it, thus making it look darker.
This is the nerdy stuff I used to do when I worked at The National Geographic Society in the printing area of Digital Imaging.
Does this work for the Canon TR8620a as well?
Not exactly. The paper manufacturers won't make profiles available for consumer printers generally speaking, so the only way to get a paper profile is buy the tool to make your own, or send a printed sample away to a company who can make one for you.

I think I am going to have to pick up a Pro 1000 next year.
Well done, thank you. The Palo Duro Softgloss is my go-to after a lot of trial and error so I'm glad to hear your comments on it. I describe it as the sweet spot between matte and gloss. It's a lot like the Canson Platine, which I sometimes order for different size/faster shipping. And the Canon Professional Print & Layout Software gets me consistently excellent results; I'll have to try it as a Lightroom plugin, so how they mesh. Thanks again.
glad to see we're on the same page. I just ordered 2 boxes of the 17x22 Palo Duro Softgloss and one 44 inch 50 foot roll for the big machine.
How amazingly topical. I *just* bought an Epson P900 (basically Epson’s equivalent to that Canon Pro1000) a few days ago
I’ve been absolutely loving this thing. My mind has been blown and I’m having so much fun
The link you provided for Canon pro printers leads to their page for Canon PRO 1000 inks, not to the page for their pro printers or other Canon printers. Please correct the link. Thanks.
Also, your Canon ImagePROGRAF PRO-1000 printer isn't listed on Canon USA's site; but it is shown on B&H and presumably other retailers. Does Canon not sell that printer directly?
Does anybody know why the colour profile is embedded in the print media instead of being selectable in the printer software before printing? Would make much more sense to me tbh...
Hey man what of Hp
I updated my windows 10 and driver does not work anymore, very frustrating that Canon does not update their driver's and I can't print edge to edge without their very outdated pro tool driver.
i like hahnemuhle and custom color profiles
I love them as well.
I just have Walgreen’s print it. 24”x36”. 3 for $50 glossy.
Printing plugin appears to only apply to Canon printer and only to Mac computers. Not helpful for Epson printers or for Windows computers.
Works for Canon printers on Windows as well. Not available for Epson for obvious reasons. Not sure if Epson has similar software though.
Arizona should have selected the proper paper settings for their ballots.
Spend a few hundred on calibration hardware and make your own profiles!
Downloading profiles is just giving uou an average. Creating your own profiles can make the cheapest printer give better results than much more expensive printers.
Great video. Do you experience high ink use due to the printer’s anti-clogging process. Heard about this on another video. Thanks.
honestly no. I've printed thousands of prints between two pro 1000's. I don't do a ton of cleaning if I am running a good number of prints in a row. Now if you don't use the printer often and turn it on and barley use it, and sit and then turn on, it's always going to clean. So there's always going to be some waste.
@@froknowsphoto Makes sense. Thanks.
I like to print on my printer using the Canon Pro Luster

Bogos binted?
The ink tank system appears to be much better than the cartridge system ruclips.net/user/postUgkxciSwynMJ7PnUvvx11rewiu-yFBkZTl53 and a lot cheaper to run. The machine was easy to set up. A small point but I thought they'd be a USB cable included to help with the set up but there was none. I've been using it now for a few weeks and it seems like a good product and superior to my previous printers which were all troublesome HP machines.
Ink tank for general purpose printing, sure. Cost effective and does the job. But those are dye based inks (black maybe pigment but it's a toss up) and the printers generally don't have more than the basic 4 ink colours.

Nice prints but I send my print work to MPIX. I cannot afford $700.00 for ink cartridges.
