I purchased the Red River Metalic Paper, downloaded the profiles, and followed the instructions. My picture of a lion is printing out red. The soft proofing shows the lion as it should look...golden. I have printed this on regulare Canon glossy paper and it isn't red. Anyone have any experience with this metalic paper?

Newer cannon printers do not have to good reception with some profiles, pixma pro10 and pro 1. They don't like anything but cannon paper.

I use it, no problems on a pixma pro10. Quite pleased with it, in fact.

I bought a 100 pack during the Redriver sale to use for special "transparent" photos where the iridescent look will show thru. I printed (Epson 4 color) a photo of a swamp area and the water took on a special look when view at an angle. No reds involved, mostly green shades. Considering the expense, floor space, maintenance time and dollars, well perhaps we will get real and all switch to slide shows on 32" HDTVs. Old habits die hard; new habits die young.
About the Canon I have my Pro 100 still in the box awaiting the availability of a CIS to reduce the cost of printing.

I've used the paper with a Canon PIXMA PRO 9000 MK II with no few problems, but I find that it does like the reds. After I do a 4x6 proof, I find I have to put in about a -10 red correction. Are you disabling the "Printer drives the color process" and setting it to use the PP software?

Yes I have disabled the Printer drives the color setting. I have the Canon Pro 100. I used the metallic paper to print out a sunflower and some of the yellow petals do have an orange tint whereas, with the Canon glossy paper, all the petals are yellow. JCam, where do I do the -10 correction. I use Lightroom. Is that where I do that?

You drop color in printer driver, same place where you select color management

FedEx just drop 500 sheet at my door. I been using it for over a year on Epson and Canon in my photo booth. People think its GREAT and I do to.
Over 5 years I've used about ever paper out on the market and RED RIVER paper is the best.

I'm using PSE 10 and don't know Lightroom at all but suspect they may be similar... In PSE after you click on print, chose printer setip-->change settings---> Printer properties Main Tab--chose manual adjustment & under the Main tab color/intensity check Manual Set and it brings up another page where you can select all the color adjustments on a +/- scale for each one.
Hope this helps; good luck.

I have 3 Epson's 2 Canon printers, make 3 prints on each printer on the paper I just got in from Red River, LOOKS GREAT.
Sometimes you can buy OLD PAPER that will not print right, Kodak is old paper any you would buy. refill ink is bad sometimes. I buy it at Inkgrabber or do it my self.
I been buying Red River paper for 2 years and not one bad one in over 5,000 sheets.

THEY CALL IT RED RIVER BECAUSE THEAT IS THE COLOR OF THE RIVER IN TEXAS AND SOME OTHER STATES.. RR IS ONE OF THE BEST PAPERS OUT THERE.
