I recently bought and just installed a new color printer, a Canon Pixma megatank G7020. I bought it because of the large ink tanks and the lowered cost of color printing. Now I have a large backlog of things that I would like to print from Affinity Photo. I have printed some materials out on plain copy paper (which is what I'm likely to use most of the some since I'm printing materials to be used in collages and other artwork), and the print quality seems decent though a bit dull. Having used other color printers in the past, I was surprised at what seem to be minimal tools for color management that appear in the print dialogue boxes accessed through Affinity Photo. For example, I can no longer find a ColorSync option in the dialogue boxes that come with this printer. It appears that all you can change is the media type, with a very limited range of choices, and the print quality from draft to best. I have scrolled through all the print settings and can't find anything else. Am I missing something here? I believe you can change some settings through the printer itself though I generally prefer to allow my software to control the settings. But I could do that if the choices increase. If anyone has used this printer or its predecessor the G6020 and has some advice for me about how to optimize print quality, I'd appreciate hearing it. Thank you.

I am looking at photo printers. I have a Mac Pro and am using Affinity Photo 1.5.1. , a photo application which I really like. But will this application work with a Canon Pixma Pro 100 inkjet Printer ? Its specs only list adobe products. T

IPF Print Plug for Canon Printers. Must have. Provides for best print results for Canon printers.

Affinity seems to be either ignoring or overriding the Canon Printer settings. On the Canon MG5150 & MG7750 if I set the page to print Border-less Affinity prints the page with the printers built in default borders. I've tried changing the Affinity document setting to let the printer control the output but it still prints with boarders. This is even stranger as Affinity fails to set up a new document using the 'Retrieve Margins from printer' command, but is quite happy to print these borders and ignore the printers boarder-less settings.
