So I get the "Windows 8" version and it refuses as well. It's can't even be argued that it is not intentional because as a computer programmer I know that Windows 8 is programatically almost identical to Win7, and the Easy PhotoPrint application is the exact same application, it runs, it is just not able to recognize the printer. ![]() Forcing them to toss a perfectly good piece of equipment is pure stupidity.Īctually the printer works under windows 8 with most applications, it is Canon Easy PhotPrint that has been intentionally programmed to ignore that I have a Canon printer and refuses to even try to print. ![]() When are companies going to realize how little effort it takes to keep a customer. This is how HP lost me as a customer almost 20 years ago when they stopped supporting my $3000 scanner. This printer is in perfect working order and it is not that old. I will not buy another Canon printer for the rest of my life. The fact that you no longer support drivers for the i9900 printer under Windows 8 is a slap in the face.Ĭanon has just lost one customer. If you are sending this out to an actual print shop, a named spot color is the absolute best way to go.I am a Canon customer with at least $30,000 in Canon photo equip. If you will be doing a lot of color printing at home that needs to be accurate, it would be better to get a better printer that has more colors to get a wider color gamut. I have a Canon i9900 8 ink printer at home that can print borderless tabloid sized paper. You should also avoid working in RGB values when doing print work. That way we weren’t guessing at small variations in CMYK values. One way we used to match colors was to get the color close on our print and then have software print out an array of close CMYK variations. PM me and I can DropBox the paint company palettes to you to make it easier. They are under Swatches > Color Books in Illustrator. I don’t know what DTP app you’re using? I’m assuming Adobe and you should have built in a Pantone palettes with that. These companies supply free files that can be used in most Adobe apps. You can easily find Sherwin William, Matthew’s Paint, PPG in most home improvement stores. If you don’t have access to a Pantone book (you really should get one if you are going to do a lot of color matching print work) you can try and match your swatch to one of the other paint companies swatches. This is a good option to get you started. Someone else already mentioned using a color matching scanner. So colors have to be matched to the specific printer being used. First thing is that every single printer will output a different color using the same color values. It’s much more complex than matching on screen RGB colors. This is a really difficult thing for a lot of designers to learn. Just a fact of life, nothing can be done. *EDIT* Also some pigments used in bulk printing are simply not able to be duplicated using either the RGB or CMYK colour models. It may cost a few hundred, but it's essential if you plan to make a career as a freelance designer and use print shops for production, plus it will last you a lifetime. If your printer is not calibrated to one of the industry standards, and you send us a file to print in bulk based on the colour you get out of your domestic inkjet printer, the colours will not match your home test print and you will be on the hook for reprint costs.Ĭalibration equipment such as the DataColor Spyder X should be your first step. If your monitor isn't calibrated and your printer (inkjet?) also isn't calibrated and you're not printing on coated stock then I very much doubt you'll get consistent success with this.Īt work our equipment is calibrated daily (or more) to ensure what colour we print one day will be the same as printed the next day, or even year. ![]()
