Strangely on the Giant Image website the only papers listed under RC Swellable Inkjet Paper are Gloss and Lustre both 230gsm weight and available in roll and cut sheets. http://www.bdgiantimage.com/en/products_view.asp?id=45 Their RC Microporous Resin Coated Paper is available in the in Glossy...

I switched to Windows 10 Professional back in late 2015 and was ignorant of the fact that you could switch back to Windows 7 at virtually the press of a button as all the settings and drivers etc for the earlier version of Windows were retained on the HDD. This switch back offer was only valid...

I've only ever used a Canon Pro100 dye printer and Precision Colors inks for photographic printing. I'm satisfied with the generic profiles that Mike at PC provides for his ink set and use the Canon Print Studio Pro software to drive the printer from Photoshop CS. I print for myself and one...

Coating of prints made using 3rd party inks to reduce fading. I tend to agree with Paul who is conducting fade tests on prints made with OEM inks when he comments that the major fading agent appears to be the effect of exposure to the atmosphere. He even suggests sealing the rear side of prints...

This has been a head scratcher for me for some time and I did report the solution to Mike at PC as I must confess I had sort his opinion independent of this forum. I think he gave up on me some time ago when the custom profile he prepared for Canon Pro Platinum paper did not work out and made...

The voice of experience speaks and is worth more than 1000 speculations. Thanks for that I'll certainly bear it in mind. It would be nice to have more info on what is causing other folks head clogging problems (no pun intended). Is it just old ink, a contaminated batch, mistakes with refilling...

PROBLEM SOLVED!! Bit of a surprise really, but sure was a pleasant one. Went with finepics solution and added a twist from the Canon website. Printed (from Print Studio Pro using the 16 bit printing driver) a reference image for comparison of an RGB 1998 colour space test chart from "on-sight"...

Wow, now that is a comprehensive take on my problem, thanks very much for all the suggestions, I'll certainly take them to heart. As for Mike's EZ ICC method you probably have gathered that I only went there to try and see if I could duplicate his results with his dye set by reverting what he...

Thanks for that link to the article you mentioned. Brought me up to speed on what current Windows OS can do in respect to 16 bit printing. As you are using the set up that I prefer would you mind my asking whether you are printing via the Canon Print Studio Pro software and whether or not you...

That's a really good suggestion of where I need to go next before adopting custom profiling. I've approached the problem as a two stage process and I'm currently nearing the end of the first stage which was to determine whether there was a difference in the way PC's profiles were treated if...

Well that's enlightening. I was depending on the accuracy of a statement by Scott Kelby on his 2011 book "The Adobe CS5 Book" in the printing section P358, where he says regarding 16 bit printing using Adobe CS5 (he is teaching printing with Photoshop managing colours)- "but at this time, this...

Thank you for your interest in my posts. I'm fairly satisfied that I'm not getting fading under all circumstance to any worrying extent. All the are stored in a stack on top of one another or in an album under plastic covers or under glass seem to be quite stable colour wise. My feeling is...

Wow, that's a seriously interesting post and answers. Thanks for that.

Gotcha. I remember now that the media type That I used for Ilford Galerie Smooth Fine art was Matte Photo Paper which explains why I didn't have the same problem with that paper. Sorry I forgot.

I'd really love to hear more about this if there's a chance that it could be happening in my case.

Did you by any chance try using the profile for other art papers (Vers1.0.0) that Canon made available for Windows users to download from their website? I can't remember whether there was a version for MAC. Does this profile allow for any more flexibility than the older one that is preloaded for...

You've flummoxed me there somewhat. I don't know what you mean by the above statement. The colour space of the Fuji test image on the PC website is indeed sRGB but to my understanding this is has nothing to do with the printing profile for the paper. I also have test images that have the Adobe...

Correction/addition to the above: "The resulting print on Pro Lustre paper" should read "the resulting print using the resulting custom profile with Canon Pro Lustre paper".

Thanks Hat for your excellent reply and as a result I feel I can put firmware upgrades and driver versions as a possible cause to one side for now. This morning I set up for a print of the Fuji test image (sRGB) that Mike provides on his website. I set up the printer driver as he recommended...

@The Hat "Whether you’re using 8 bit or 16 bit colour that will have no bearing on your magenta colour cast, that is a total different issue altogether, but from what I’ve learned and seen you can’t tell any difference in a print done with 8 or 16 bit colour." I totally agree with the first...
