Don't Make This MAJOR MISTAKE When Printing Photos

Not choosing the proper profile might lead to wasted ink, paper, and inevitably money. Who's made this mistake before???

Does this work for the Canon TR8620a as well?

The plugin was the best advice ever!!! Thanks Jared!!!

Dude you definitely need a haircut.:)😂.

Good informative video Jared

Bogos binted?

Great information Jared! I will have to see how to do this with my workflow, I use GNU/Linux with DarkTable and GIMP. I have a Canon iP8720 and paper by Canon Photopaper Pro Luster and Epson Metallic Photo Paper Luster. I haven't done much printing and struggled with my first print when I got the printer and paper to get a good print. Then more recently I was horribly disappointed with a print and just moved on figured I'd troubleshoot another day or just use a lab if in a pinch. Maybe a profile would solve the bad print issue I had. Thank you!

Hard to listen to somebody who is screaming or yelling the whole time.

If no profile is available for your favourite paper, don’t despair. Experiment with profiles made for other similar papers from different brands using 4x6 or 5x7 printing to see if you can spot the differences and choose the profile that best meets your expectation.

I've used Red River, Ilford, and Canson papers, and I keep coming back to Canon's own Pro Platinum for my Pro-10. Honestly, the quality is just as good or better than the others, but the deciding factor is that the price is better. My second favorite is Canson Baryta Photographique II. I've had issues with Red River paper curling or the ink scuffing when I cut my prints.

I use my 44" inch Canon image prograf 4100 for printing on canvas every day for my art gallery, the best printer I have ever owned. Red River is also a great paper company.

Jared, is there a black and white inkjet art paper that falls into the same look as the old Agfa Portriga Rapid?

Strangely, I get the best results by setting my printer to use my calibration profile on my monitor, "Driver," no matter the paper (and I use a combination of Hahnemule, RR, and Canson). I don't know why this is true but it has been all along on my pro1000.

Spend a few hundred on calibration hardware and make your own profiles!
Downloading profiles is just giving uou an average. Creating your own profiles can make the cheapest printer give better results than much more expensive printers.

Appreciate the lecture. Not enough information or media on photo printing out there 💚

One thing you didn't mention is ink. How important it is (Or not) to use Canon genuine ink?

Great video! I bought the pro 300 and let me tell you printing your photos is great. Expensive yes. But nothing beats giving someone a print. I’m to new to sell maybe one day. Cannon does make it easy.

Thank you for this and so many other great time saving and informational vids. Really great stuff.

This is the nerdy stuff I used to do when I worked at The National Geographic Society in the printing area of Digital Imaging.

That’s awesome..Been a photographer for 22 years and I’m only 33 years young and just started printing based on @daniel milnor’s advice to use decent paper in even a “crummy” all-in-one printer.

The results are fan-freaking-tastic!!! I now love printing! So thank you for sharing this with your broad audience! Really.

Printing is the chefs kiss to having made a great photo.

BTW, any chance you will be coming out to Vegas anytime soon? I’m the dude you met last year with the prints. They were just little Costco prints but man it would be good to see you again and show you my new all-in-one printer photos haha.. etc etc.

I have an Old Epson Printer. The Best profile SOO Critical!

I love your passion and enthusiasm you have have really taught me so much thank you

jared polin how do i make lightroom see canon printer to do what you said in video. when i go to part you said to look does not show my canon printer so i have to use lightroom for it

Perfect timing!
I'm in the market for a printer.
Was thinking about the Canon IP8720
Up to 13 x 19 prints.

Great video Jared, I have had the Canon imagePRO-1000 for a couple years now and love it, yes at first I did only use Canon media, but not any more. There are other alternatives that work just fine.

Could you make a video on how you installed the ICC profiles and so on

Picked up a Canon Pro-1000 at your recommendation, using Red River Papers. Gorgeous prints! Only “problem” is the amount of ink it uses when agitating. A complete set of 12 ink cartridges and maintenance cartridge is over $600. It uses a lot of ink when turning it on or agitating. Need to wait and make a lot of prints at once to avoid as many power on cycles as possible.

Thanks Jared. Great vid. I saw the earlier one re printing. I have the Canon Pro Graf 300. Totally excellent printer. As I work off of a Mac Mini after moving over from Windows I found that it's not very friendly when configuring printers for a print job. Windows Print is much better, in my view. That is, until I saw that earlier video and the plug-in that Canon provides for Lightroom. Installed it. Makes life much easier now.

As for those papers you've listed, unfortunately none of them are avalable here in Australia and the ones which are, say from the local stores which sell printers, paper and so on, they don't have an online presence much less profiles to download.

Tell Red River to start selling its products here, please.

Thanks again.

I updated my windows 10 and driver does not work anymore, very frustrating that Canon does not update their driver's and I can't print edge to edge without their very outdated pro tool driver.

Canon sponsored. hmm. What camera should I buy?

My question is this, can you use a sharpie and sign ON the ink and not the white border? I have the Epson 800 and when you sign on the ink there's weird white streaks - could be signed 5 mins after, or a year later, done both. Love the prints it produces, but that's an issue for our usage. Think autographed sports photos where you don't get to usually decide where it's signed.

In the video you said you use both the Canon PRO-1000 and the Canon PRO-300. In your opinion is there any difference in quality between the Canon PRO-1000 and the PRO-300? I understand you lose a bit of size of prints but besides that have you noticed any real difference?

Just one question...Why do you prefer Canon over Epson?

This is actually helpful for me because I have been using (without knowing) Canon paper profile with non-Canon paper for my Canon printer. I just downloaded the paper profile for the paper I use.

Thank you Jared! This video was so informative. I do have a Canon printer. I'm learning LR Classic. I'm always confused though with image size vs paper size. I guess the problem is that I crop my photos. I do keep the ratio when I crop. Does the profile just keep your photo centered when you choose to have a border? I'll play and figure it out. Oh, and the luster paper is so nice. I'm never tried that. I'm going to take a look at the Red River web site.

Thanks Jared! I’ve been using this printer wrong for 2 years. I need that plug in ASAP

I do check out many of your videos and for some reason over the years the printing with Canon printers videos have been my favorites. You would think I would own one… “Canon Printer”

Perhaps I will soon! Thanks loved this paper video.

Is there a recommended printer to buy?

I've been using RR artic polar satin for years. I've never felt the need to change papers!

Is there a different prosumer printer you’d recommend? Looking to print mostly 5x7s but I don’t think I’ll print every week.

Excellent video. I recently started attempting to print some of my images. The info about media types and printer profiles was enlightening.

Jared - is there a way to simulate the different print paper types BEFORE printing? i.e. soft proofing.

Fantastic video on the canon imageprograf 1000 pro... more of those... Love them, thanks!

But but but... how to get the red river paper in europe (Denmark)?

Surprised Canon allows third party paper

I use a brother printer and I use cheap photopaper "CUYI" brand. I print A4 sizes and they look amazing on screen and in print. Been doing it for over 2 years now.

I think I am going to have to pick up a Pro 1000 next year.
