Canon I550 color management

[tm_photography]

some time ago I asked if anyone had any advice on settings for printing to a

Canon I550 from photoshop, but got no response, maybe because I didn't include

canon in the title and spelled color the Australian/British way.

 

Can anyone please tell me what are the best settings for getting a correct print

from a canon i550. My monitor is colour calibrated. Several books suggest

telling photoshop to manage the color and then selecting an icc profile, but

unlike Epson, Canon does not seem to provide ICC profiles. I am printing on high

quality glossy photo paper. I printed a picture twice. Once it came out more or

less right but with banding so I turned up the quality manually, but then the

colour came out wrong. I don't know what settings I had used the first time.

Please help. I really want to print my photos but don't want to waste a lot of

ink and paper making bad prints because I don't know the proper settings.

Any help will be most appreciated.

there are several services which can make a custom profile for you. Are you in the UK or Australia?
