Paige Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Are any other Mac AD users printed on any thick art papers (eg. 250gms -115lb) using a pixma pro-100? I have been getting faded results using the default settings. (CMYK Colour profile U.S Web Coated (SWOP)v2 ) I hate to write this but there is an ICC Canon list when using PS (aahh it burns). Maybe there is there is another one in the selection menu that I could select to have best results other than the default one? Testing each one will clearly empty my ink cartridges so asking may safe me tons of time and costs. Fingers crossed, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
