Canon IPF PRO 1000 Driver Settings and Features You May have missed

The tip about turning print preview off was a life saver!!! I was almost going nuts wondering what i was doing wrong to cause a dark overcast on the prints.

[@cheo1949]

Glad it helped!

@@cheo1949 thaaaank you. The issue is unresolved on hundreds of canon forums online. I hope more people see this video.

Jose - is it possible to print in the black and white mode using non canon paper? E.g. I"m using Ilford paper and printing from Photoshop. I'm using the ICC profile for Ilford. But as soon as I select black and white in the canon printer settings, the ICC profile defaults to only Canon paper ICC profile options

[@cheo1949]

Sure. You can make global adjustments to adjust the tone is needed.

[@andrewmiller6672]

Under Print Quality > Custom. Is it impossible to select the 1 value? There is a range from 5-1, 1 being the highest (fine, it is referred to as). I seem to only be able to select 2 as the highest print quality when shuffling through all the options (media type, etc). Also when just selecting Highest option, instead of custom, it prints at balue 2 after looking through my Accounting Manager App.

hello Jose, I am using a mac with big sur and photoshop (and a pro-1000). It worked fine until yesterday when I made a printer software update. Now I get a message that reads “remember to disable the printer’s color color management in the printer’s settings dialog box”. Can’t find that feature... have tried to reinstall the drivers several times and since then i get very intense reds and whatever I do in Photoshop does have no effect whatsoever on the print. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you very much in advance :-)

[@cheo1949]

Just what did to uninstall and from what source? What software? And you can't find that setting because in MAC it doesn't exist. How were you printing before? MAC us notorious for automating functions for the user. Almost like it doesn't think you can do things manually like with WINDOWS.

This was so informative,thank you Jose!

[@christopherbrougham]

Hi - thanks so much for all your great videos and sage advice. Can I ask you something: when you often say owners have to regularly use printers like the Canon Pro 1000 to keep them in good shape, is printing small 5 x 7s enough to do so? Or would I have to print at the printer's largest format?

[@cheo1949]

NO. A small print would be plenty.

Greetings. Want to buy a BenQ SW240 monitor. Can it be calibrated with any x-rite calibration device with its native software or only with the palatte master elements that comes with the monitor as a bundle. I already have a colormunky display. Please help.

[@cheo1949]

Use the Xrite calibrator with It's native software.

1. Your printer videos are outstanding, thanks. I'm trying to print panos on my Pro 1000 up to 47" (now possible in the recent Canon and Lightroom updates), but large paper sizes are scarce at 17". Can I buy a 17" roll of Canon (or Lexjet or HP) paper and rotary cut before printing to length, then print? Will the Pro 1000 vacuum feeder system handle a slight amount of curl - roll comes on 3'' tubes? 2. I much prefer using the printer drivers for paper profiles. If a competing paper has the same/close-to thickness and density as say Canon Pro Luster can I use it? Thanks much.

[@cheo1949]

The so called Vacuum advanced is just ASSISTED and full vacuum line of large format printer. SO you may still have problems.

[@lisaburghart4141]

can the Canon pro 1000 print multiple images (slots) per sheet? Thanks.

[@cheo1949]

Sure. Any printer can. You need a software that will load multiple images onto a single layout page. Qimage is the best tool for this.

Great demo Jose - Thanks. I can't seem to get custom media type to display - even though I am using the Canon Media Config tool. It adds the media - but the custom category doesn't show up on the Quick Setup page. Any suggestions? Thanks

[@cheo1949]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/nIbTqZetqN5nbNU kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqS1hml5d62nl7M This will only work with the regular main driver and NOT the XPS driver as it is NOT an actual driver per-se but a supplement that piggy backs on top of the normal main driver. I have only loaded Media Configuration Files from Red River for some of their papers. You can only load about 6 with the current firmware but there is an update available which will allow you to load several dozen Media Configurations. These will only be seen in a drop down folder named CUSTOM.

Where is this print preview option for the Canon Mac driver? Granted, I do not have a pro-1000, however, the Canon Mac driver for the Pro-100 does not have a preview option. Does this really apply to Mac users or is it a Windows only driver option?

[@cheo1949]

Since the Mac drivers are always a different user interface I really do not know where that preview option is located but every time I hear of a magenta color cast print problem it seems the user is on a Mac OS. Once they disabled print preview the cast disappears. I will definitely check that option on my Windows driver and see if it actually produces the magenta cast.

[@jeffthompson3382]

Jose Rodriguez i would like to see a screen shot of a print preview option in the canon Mac driver before I accept that as true.

[@cheo1949]

Maybe you can check for me if there is a preview in the MAC version Photoshop print module. All I am saying is that in various printer forums this has been brought up as a cause for an unwanted magenta cast. And I suggested that to a viewer and it indeed solved the cast problem while we were on the phone. Since I saw the print preview on both PS and in my PRO1000 Driver and these folks have made reference to being MAC users then I have to assume they are telling the truth. I am not whatsoever taking sides here. I could care less. Just reporting what I've come across.

Jose Rodriguez I’ll check psp. I don’t normally use it though.

[@youreperfectstudio4789]

Ive heard the preview checkbox can randomly disable icc profiles

[@cheo1949]

I am not sure if that is true but it will throw your color balance off.

[@joshuadelawrencephotograhy7619]

In the paper detailed settings on the calibration value when you are talking about internal profiling you are talking about icc profiling correct?

[@cheo1949]

Nope. Internal calibration tunes the printer to what the factory wants it's out put to be. NOTHING TO DO with ICC profile production. What this is for to get your calibrated PRO1000 to print exactly as my calibrated PRO1000. Otherwise the do not. You will still need those paper profiles.

I don't. Why would you need to put the?PRO1000 in service mode? Even if you could you would need a service tool and special log on credentials to connect to the CANON Service Server to use it. It's not like the old days any more.
