I'm sure I posted before on this, but I always have a hard time finding all the instructions in one place to do this. Here are the steps:
- Buy Red River 68lb Glossy Paper. It is very good stuff and not expensive. I use the 68lb Glossy that's precut in 4×6 and 8×10 sizes
- Read Canon Starter Guide on the Red River site for the settings in short
- Install the Red River Profiles in c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\colors for detailed instructions, Red River i9900 Help tells you the settings
- In Photoshop CS2, choose File/Print with Preview, select Show More Options/Color Management
- Source space should be document (I use ProPhoto RGB as this has the widest gamut and supports 16bit colors from .CR2 Canon Raw files, but for most cameras, Adobe RGB)
- In Print Space, select the profile _RR 68lb UPGloss Cani9900 Fine
- Render Intent is Perceptual and select Black Point Compensation
- Get the latest drivers from Canon for the i9900 so it can use colors properly
- Select Page Setup and then Printer... and find the Canon i9900, click on Properties to get the Printer Driver Settings
- In the Main dialog, select Media Type Glossy Photo Paper and press the Set.. button next to it and set Quality to Fine
- Now select Color Adjustment Manual and press Set... button and make sure Enable is NOT selected and Print Type is set to None
You get something pretty close to what's on the screen assuming you've calibrated your monitor before hand. Good luck!
