![]() Right now, I'm doing guess and check color correction, just so I have SOMETHING printed to sell. A new monitor is looking like it'll be $400+, and not as large as the one I'm currently using. I'm now looking at getting a new monitor, but this is getting INSANELY expensive, and I'd like to be sure I've exhausted all other options first. I did some more research and came across DisplaćAL, which is a more detailed version of the ColorMunki default software? Again, I saw a slight improvement. Profiled it, printed, and the results were again slightly better, but still not good. ![]() I'd been eyeing the Pixma Pro 100 for more than a year, it was on sale, so I bought it. I posted on Reddit, and the general consensus was my printer just wasn't up to snuff. I was getting closer results printing from Chrome without any color management on some pieces! They weren't any better than the ones without a profile - different, but not really better. I got the ColorMunki, profiled both devices, and did a few test prints. I also purchased some Canon Semi-Gloss 8x10 photo paper, three different types of sticker paper from, cause I figured the ColorMunki would solve all my color problems. I decided to buy a ColorMunki Photo so I could calibrate my monitor and my printer. I started researching color management, learned about ICC profiles, but couldn't find any for my printer (an old Brother office printer). I did what I think a lot of new people do - made something in photoshop, printed it out, and despaired at the color discrepancy. I thought that would make it easier, but it doesn't seem like it so far. Each piece has a limited color palette, close to 10-15 colors. I'm not printing photos, I'm printing digital artwork. I'm hoping I can get some guidance on what to try next ![]() I'm fairly new to color management, but so far, it's been a NIGHTMARE.
