Moab Support Forum > Colors way off

I'm new to printing, so I may well be my own problem.

I recently bought a Canon Pro100 printer. With Canon profiles, I am getting very good color with Canon paper. However, I am having serious color problems with my Moab prints.

I bought the Moab sample pack and have installed all the Moab profiles. Depending on the paper, I am getting off color casts in certain areas on the prints, if not the entire print. The metallics, both the Slickrock Metallic Pearl and Silver, have really bad color.

I put the ICC profiles in the folders on my MacBook Pro, running Maverick, and desktop PC, running WIN7, according to your instructions. Both computers are on PSCC.

Any ideas why I am having such troubles? Am I missing something obvious?

Thanks for your help.

Howard, thank you for describing your situation. Are you using our recommended media type for each and every paper / ICC profile? Here is a link to the profiles:

Look right underneath each profile download link, and take note of our recommendation for each profile.

As far as the Slickrock papers go, as indicated on our ICC profile page above, you will need to use the Relative rendering intent for best results.

Additionally, when you set up your PRO-100 did you perform a calibration? This is needed for the best color accuracy.

Aha! I missed the Relative for the Slickrock. I'm sure that is it. As for the others, yes, I have used each paper as to its profile. I have not calibrated my monitors, which I am going to do today, or tomorrow, as soon as the ColorMunki arrives. However, as I said above, I am getting very good color with the other paper. I'll wait until I have them calibrated, before I print more.

Thanks for the help. I figured I was missing the obvious.
