Hi everyone,
Recently, my Epson R3000 died. It has served me 6 yrs with excellent result.
I have replaced it with a Canon Pro-1. I make b/w prints on fine art rag paper. I am unable to get a print with saturated blacks on subject like a wall with most parts of it in dark shadow. It looks grayish, muddy and patchy. The ink just doesn't saturate the paper. This has not been the case with my previous printer.
Prints on subjects like foliage isn't that bad. Even though, I wish the blacks could be better. The bigger disappointment is on the continuous, textureless dark tone on a large part of the image that looks really ugly.
I'm printing from Lr on Canson Rag Photographique, using Canon's own icc profile for this paper. Print Media is Other Fine Art Paper 1. Other selections are Media Type: Matte and Intent: Perceptual.
Can anyone spot what I'm doing wrong? The result I get just doesn't match with the reviews that I've read before purchasing the printer.
Thank you.
