Canon Pro 200 Printer

There are two topics here. The original is about how to get rid of the blue tint. That does not appear to be resolved yet.
The other, that always comes up, is the price of ink. Red River Papers did a study a few years ago to compare the cost of using various brands and models of printers. It appeared that, to sell paper, they had to help customers understand ink costs.
In round number estimates, Canon photo printers use less than 2 cents worth of ink for every square inch printed. Compare that that to print prices at a quality lab. Add that Pro-200 dye ink prints should be good for about 100 years. Trying to save money with third party inks makes no sense to me. A Canon Pro-100 or Pro-200 full sized, 13x19 print costs a little less than a draft beer!

That’s in the soft proof view with the correct ICC profile enabled for soft proofing, correct?
And you disabled the Canon / windows printer management (if you have doubts how to do that, just ask) and have ONLY the LR printer management enabled, correct?
If both those things are true, the monitor is correctly calibrated and you’re using Canon ink, I have no other suggestions except to call Canon. Anyone else have an idea?

Thanks Again! I will try these settings but have the Grandkids over for the weekend. I’ll let y’all know.

Hey y’all! Asking any Hogs who own this printer. I’ve had this printer about a month and it has a blue cast to all the print images! My monitor is calibrated. I use Canon paper and proper profiles. I print using Lightroom. I’ve run the head cleaning utility. I have to turn the blue slider in Lightroom All the way down and the printer will print an acceptable image. Any ideas? I have to print a sample image and adjust before I can print a 13X19 image. I’m running out of the Expensive ink!
I think you might be double profiling the color management. I own the Pro 100 & not the Pro 200. (if it is the same or close to) If your in LR, go to the top left & click File tab. Follow the drop down menu all the way down to page setup & click. The Canon Driver set up will pop up. Click on Properties. Go down to Color/Intesity Manual Adjustment. If the box is checked, uncheck it & then check it again. Another page will pop up. At the top choose Matching & go down & choose None. Check the OK box at the bottom. As you back outof the driver windows, make sure all your settings are correct & choose the OK or Apply box at the bottom. Once in the LR Print module make sure your ICC paper/printerprofile, etc. are correct. Hope this helps.
