I will keep trying with samples of different papers I have. I evaluated the prints in the daylight coming from the window next to my workstation, but I will try it under different lighting ...

I have some samples, so will give it a shot.

DisplayCAL using i1 DisplayPro. Calibrated at 90cdm2/D65/2.2 gamma. DisplayCAL verification shows nominal tolerances. Other than DisplayCAL verification, is there a way to confirm that my display ...

No, but it will give me a peace of mind that the display is not producing a reddish or other tint. The Canon profile for semi-gloss paper. Not sure if it's optimized for B&W. Just tried it in a ...

Regardless, letting the printer manage the colors and using B&W option in the printer settings dialog results in pretty much the same image.

Because... I didn't know? It's not like the printer comes with a tutorial. I'm just getting started in printing. Wish there was a Best Practices kind of references somewhere.

I download and printed a B&W test image from Keith's website (http://www.northlight-images.co.uk/printer-test-images/) on my Pro-300. I made sure to re-calibrate my monitor before doing so. The ...

Thank you for the detailed explanation. Which add-ons are these? Print Studio Pro?

I will try these suggestions and report back. I couldn't find Canon Print Utility for download anywhere. Have they discontinued it?

I am testing my Pro-300 and wondering what the best practices are for this family of printers. Specifically, what rendering intent should I be using, perceptual or relative? Should I use black ...

You mean around the print head and the ink tanks? Or in the paper feed?

Doh, that was it. Probably not the last dumb mistake I'll make while getting the hang of it, but :fingers-crossed: hopefully the biggest one. Thank you.

Received my Canon Pro-300 yesterday and set it up this morning, following the guidelines. Print head alignment and nozzle check patterns looked fine. Tried to do a test print with Canon Print & ...

Yeah, what cdm do people recommend calibrating it at?

This is great, will check those out. Any other tips for a relative printing newbie other than making sure to calibrate the monitor and use soft proofing with the paper ICC profiles?

Should I a paper cutter of some kind?
