Just got a new Pixma IP8750 printer and used Colormunki to calibrate the monitor with the printer. Used the easy method. I have done it several times and every time the prints are noticeably different from the monitor. It is disappointing. What is a blue sky on the monitor is more of a purplish blue on the prints.
When I go into the printer profile list in CS6 in the print menu there's a whole stack of profiles. At the top of the list are 10 Canon IP8750 profiles and if I select any of these I get better results than using Colormunki and creating new profiles for my Canon paper. How can that be?
If I didn't have a Colormunki what profile would I select in the printer profile window or is it a matter of trial and error.
What's killing me is that calibrating properly I get poorer results than not bothering at all.
I read that I'm meant to restore the monitor to factory default settings before calibrating but I'm not doing this. Is that important and if it is can someone tell me how to do it on a HP Touchscreen?
Sorry so many questions but am very disappointed with my calibration efforts. I know the Colormunki is probably the best
Advice would be appreciated
