Printer Settings for ColorMunki profiling (Canon & Mac)

A screencast on how I had to set my Canon iP4300 printer settings in order to obtain good printer profiling results.

The dark printout may also be because people have their screens turned up way too bright. But that's also something the ColorMunki help adjusting via the "Match Print to Screen" feature where it measures the ambient light at sets the screen at an appropriate level. That is the level at which the brightness of prints should be judged;-)

The options in the printer driver depend on the printer model and the Mac OS version. I tried a Canon pro 9500 Mk II with OS 10.5.8. The settings in this video are not available in that driver. I used ColorSync with the "generic" Canon profile, first one in the automatic list - structure but no data? Maybe it worked? I haven't tested the profiles I made enough yet to be sure. But that's another thing to try.

Thanks Oliver for making a video about this information. This will be the first issue users find when using the Munki. Users will think that the output is typically too dark if they do not get the printer driver settings correct.
