Canon Photo Paper Pro II

We started by bespoke profiling the printer for this paper using a 729- patch target. An A3 print took 8m 15s to emerge using highest-quality settings. The gamut volume of the profile was a little disappointing at 789,470 and we set about auditing the other colour data and brought in a number of other papers and profiles from different sources. We noted that the Pro Gloss paper is quite fragile and was marked by the rollers of the spectrophotometer and by other sheets stacked onto the audit print.

Colour Audit

The average error dropped in at a creditable 3.0. The high errors were in the red, moderate red and magenta (5.4, 5.2 and 5.4). The skin tones held up well, just a couple of points down on saturation. The high error was in the lightness component; the print was too dark, overall, by about 3%, although the mid-tone grey was only 0.2% away from the aim point. We initially printed using perceptual rendering intent and tried relative colourimetric which made the average error worsen to 3.12?E00.
