Cannon Pro 100 printer problem

I can't say I've had color issues with my Canon Pro 100 over the two years or so that I've owned it. I use after market ink from LD Products without issue. I do use profiles I've created using the Datacolor Spyderprint. Hope you get your issue resolved.
Happy shooting

Turn off printer manages colour
I have the Canon Pro-100 printer and it produces excellent results. However, I do have one complaint with the driver. On my Epson printer, when I select Photoshop or Lightroom manage color, the driver automatically disables the printer from managing color. My Canon Pro-100 does not do this. I have to remember to verify that this option is disabled. I wish that Canon would adopt the same philosophy as Epson.

I too have printed hundreds of prints on my Pro 100 using 3rd party ink and never have had a problem.

My Canon Pro 100 gives me awful, blotched images every time I feed the paper upside down. It just doesn’t want to print on the back side!
For one thing if you are printing on photo grade paper, most of them are designed to only print on one side. If you print on the wrong side they will do just exactly what you are describing.

Assuming you are printing from Photoshop or Lightroom, make sure that the box to use LR or PS settings is checked and NOT the printer controls colors default. Also, always use the Adobe RGB and not sRGB color gamut. Set the DPI to 240 DPI (higher just uses more ink and does not improve your prints). Go into the Photoshop curves adjustment and set the shadow output to 8 and the highlight output to 244. That slight restriction will ensure that there is sufficient white ink on the paper so that the ink and not the paper defines the highlights and that detail is not lost in the shadows because of deposition of excessive ink. The default o and 255 settings are for screen viewing.

There is no ‘white ink’. It is the lack of ink that allows the white of the paper to define the highlights.

I have two Pro100's. Use Canon ink, paper and software and you'll get prints that are accurate.
I've used this printer for years with great results on all sizes...I do buy canon inks, but use papers from several sources.

Have you checked the color profiles, and are your displays and the printer calibrated similarly?

My setup issues were corrected with modifications similar to PGHphoto's response.
I do use the sRGB in lieu of the Adobe color-space.
No problems in the 2+ years since and images look great.

I also have 2 - generally Canon inks, though I have used off brand - those sometimes require some tweaking, but are cost effective. Mostly use Canon Paper (since there are frequent free paper with ink deals), but have found Costco's Kirkland Professional Glossy to be excellent as well. The printer makes beautiful durable prints that hold up even in full sunlight next to a window.

Within the print setup you have to select B&W otherwise the printer is looking for color, and not being told it's B&W it's gonna do what it's supposed to do.
I have been using the pro 100 for about 5 years. No problems once I turned the brightness down on my monitor. I do a lot of black and white and always check the black and white box in the printer dialog.
As mentioned elsewhere, be sure to turn off the printer color management if you check to let LR or POS manage colors.

You are probably using Canon ink in your Cannon printer. They might not be compatible.
Just a joke. I like to amuse myself. Cheers.
