Printing with ICC Profiles 
If the image data has a specified ICC profile, you can effectively use the color space (Adobe RGB or
sRGB) of the data when printing. 
The printer driver setting procedure varies depending on the application software used to print. 
Printing image data from the application software that can specify an ICC profile 
When using Adobe Photoshop, Canon Digital Photo Professional, or any other application software that
allows you to specify an ICC profile, you can use the color management system (ICM) found in Windows
when printing the data. You can print the editing and touch-up results of an application software by
effectively using the color space of the ICC profile specified in the image data. 
To use this printing method, you must first use an application software to specify an ICC profile in the
image data. For instructions on specifying an ICC profile with an application software program, refer to
the manual of the application software you are using. 
1.Open the printer driver setup window
2.Select the media type 
Select the type of paper loaded in the printer from the Media Type list on the Main tab. 
3.Select the print quality

When you execute print, the printer uses the color space of the image data. 
Important 
If you print an image by specifying an individually created profile or a profile for special Canon paper
in an application software, select None from the Color Correction menu of the printer driver. 
Printing image data from the application software that cannot specify an ICC profile 
When printing from an application software that does not allow you to specify an ICC profile, specify the
ICC profile in the print settings of the printer driver and print the data. When printing Adobe RGB data, you
can print the data with the Adobe RGB color space even if the application software does not support
Adobe RGB.

Adjusting Color Balance 
You can adjust the color tints during printing. 
Since this function adjusts color balance of the output by changing the ink ratios of each color, it changes
the total color balance of the document. Use the application software if you want to change the color
balance significantly. Use the printer driver only if you want to adjust the color balance slightly. 
The following sample shows the case when Color Balance is used to intensify cyan and to diminish
yellow so that the overall colors are more uniform. 
No adjustment Adjusted in Color Balance
The procedure for adjusting color balance is as follows: 
1.Open the printer driver setup window
2.Select the manual color adjustment 
On the Main tab, select Manual for Color/Intensity, and click Set.... 
The Manual Color Adjustment dialog box opens. 
3.Adjust color balance 
There are individual sliders for Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow. Each color becomes stronger when the
corresponding slider is moved to the right, and becomes weaker when the corresponding slider is
moved to the left. For example, if cyan becomes weaker, the color red becomes stronger. 
You can also directly enter a value linked to the slider. Enter a value in the range from -50 to 50. 
After adjusting each color, click OK.
