I always print using highest quality settings and practices. However, print speed is not a major factor for individuals so much as it is for production print houses, so as an individual printing only for myself, I never worry about it. Uni-directional printing definitely slows the print speed down. Whether one can see a practical difference depends on the image content, choice of media, etc. The printer manufacturer provides a uni-directional option with the intent that dot placement precision, thus image quality, will be at its highest level. Isn' t it right to use Unidirectional printing at all times? (it isn' t checked as such In Qi 1, but I think it might be the best?) Isn' t it right to use Unidirectional printing at all times? (it isn' t checked as such In Qi 1 but I can activate it, but I think it might be the best?) instead of " Highest density Fine Art Paper" (as Canon calls it). I' ll set "Media Type" to either " Highest Density Fine Art Paper" (for Hahnemühle Photo Rag), or " Photo Baryta" for Photo Rag Baryta (as advised by Hahnemühle in their documentation that comes with their ICC paper profiles.although they speak about " High Density Fine Art Paper". Those settings include not only which media setting, but also other factors like print quality (.e.g, normal, highest, etc), unidirectional printing on or off, chroma optimizer auto or overall, etc.essentially any printer settings that might affect the printed target color values in any way at the time the ICC Profiling target gets printed and then measured. So, when using generic profiles provided by vendors, they have to tell you what settings were used to build the profile.Ĭannot find those from Canon.yet.

More than one media setting can sometimes be used to build a good profile, but once chosen, that's the media setting which should be used. So, generic profiles provided by Canon.Īgain, you have to check the vendor's documentation to confirm which media setting corresponds to which profile. That 's indeed the confusing part for me. When I add an ICC paper profile in the ICC Color Profile box, then I can also find it in Media Type Box (although slightly different name). That' s exactly what I think is the case here. What may be confusing the situation for you is that Canon may also provide a generic profile for some Hahnemuhle papers, and HFA rather than High density fine art may have been used to create it.

Note that you have to install any third party vendor's provided profile in the correct folder on your PC or Mac, otherwise, Qimage and other apps won't find it. When choosing said profile in QimageOne, you will also set the rendering intent at that step as well. Then choose the corresponding Hahnemuhle ICC profile in the Qimage menu box where one chooses profiles. For Photo Rag Baryta it says: " Media: Photo Baryta". Set that as the media setting in the QimageOne.įor Photo Rag, Hahnemühle' s documentation says: " Media: High Density Fine Art Paper". If you have downloaded an ICC Profile from Hahnemuhle for your Pro-1000, Hahnemuhle's documentation tells you what media setting was used to build that profile.

So, when using generic profiles provided by vendors, they have to tell you what settings were used to build the profile.

Again, you have to check the vendor's documentation to confirm which media setting corresponds to which profile. Set that as the media setting in the QimageOne.
