I have a little problem. first I needed to close the top feed lid you seemed not to take care of; second i was using canon Photo paper plus glossy II PP-201 10x15cm i selected in profiles and size and when i print the printer says that the paper doesn't fit (error code 2114). i see A4 platinum on lcd. I select more details and say "print with paper loaded" and it started. results looks very good; Do you know why it didn't want to recognize paper and didn't load it in printer ? It seems that the paper is not loaded into printer in USB mode (soft V1.3.6). I needed to manually change A4 platinum to KG 10x15 Glacé Extra II A. i did that and stored it and print from software is now working without error.

Hi - Tricky to advise remotely on the cutting off situation but if correct paper size is selected on the print module and the printer it should be ok, may depend if you're printing to the border or not. A few too many variables to troubleshoot remotely without seeing the set-up I'm afraid. In terms of the matching of screen to print: 1) First advice is to make sure you're screen is calibrated - Fotospeed did a good video about doing this with a Spyder X Pro. Without a calibrated monitor you'll always have an issue: kzitem.info/news/bejne/mpdrnKloe2aimIo 2) If the monitor is calibrated, the next step is to use a specific profile for the type of paper you're printing on. Either a generic profile for that paper from the supplier, or better still a Custom ICC Profile which is made specifically for that paper and that printer. Fotospeed offer this service for free when you buy any of their paper. If the screen is calibrated, and you're using a profile for that paper, there should be no reason for the screen and print not to match as near as possible (assuming no malfunction with the printer and assuming the correct official inks are being used). There is of course always a difference in viewing an image on a backlit illuminated screen vs on paper, but the colours etc will all be ok if the 2 steps above are done correctly. Hope this helps a little. Thanks for checking out the video. Sam

Thanks for a clear video helping me get going with Canon’s Professional Print and Layout on my new Pro 300 printer, but I need clarification on something that you did not address in the print process. At the point in PP&L, you select “Media Type,” the available options all reference Canon papers. When printing with another brand paper, how do you determine which Canon-type media best aligns with the one you’re using. For example, I’m printing on Hahnemuhle Glossy Fine Art Baryta (325 GSM, bright white, high gloss) and am not sure which media type to select. I have imported the ICC files for Hahnemuhle and am using the one for Fine Art Baryta, but this seems unrelated to “media type.” Is there a guide of some sort matching Canon paper types to others’ or another good way of making this determination. And, finally, does it really matter to print output? Thanks for your help.
@Joccum
5 ай бұрын
Replying because I just had to figure this out on my own as well. To do this, I found that my paper brand has a "ICC profile" available on their website. You need to download this file. Then you download a canon driver called Media Configuration Tool. You import the downloaded file in that Canon MCT. Then you have to update the media files in the driver and then you have to update in the PP&L (file>other settings>update). Hope it helps anyone.

Yes I do recommend that - The Spyder X Pro is a great little tool and it's paramount to getting the best prints. I regularly calibrate my iMac to ensure it's up to date. If the screen is calibrated and you have custom ICC profiles your print will look as close to the screen version as it ever can. The X Pro are available via: fotospeed.com/datacolor-spyderx-pro.html

Hi - thanks for checking out the video. Tricky if you're printing a scanned version of a painting. There's a lot that could affect the print but it comes down to the usual things of 1) Is the monitor calibrated 2) Are you using an ICC profile for that specific paper 3) What type of paper is it? 4) When dealing with a scanned image of something vibrant like a painting you may need to do some editing of the scan to bring the print version of it back up to that colour/vibrance (depending on the type of painting). Very difficult to advise much more remotely but if the print seems 'flat' then I suspect you may need to do that editing. Also depends on the scan resolution + what settings you're using to print etc etc! Lot's of variables I'm afraid :) Sam

Excellent videos on the Pro 300. I am new to home printing and decided to dive straight into buying the Pro 300. I enjoy shooting film, colour and black and white 35mm and I develop and scan my own negatives. Would you say that these basic print programs and not any extra profiles etc would suit film negatives and their colours, and black and white tones, keeping things simply and enough to produce pleasing prints from the negatives? I basically just want to produce 8 x6 or up to 8 x10 prints. Hope that all makes sense? I'm not sure if I have explained what I am trying to say, but I just want to keep printing simply and print from time to time any worth white negatives.

I have one question though, I made three prints using the Canon Print and Layout software from Lightroom and each of them printed all the way to the right side of the paper. The paper is from the sample pack that came with the printer; Canon Pro Luster, size A4. I selected this in the ICC setting for the color print. I selected A4 paper size on the printer. I used the Black and White setting for the two BW prints. I even tried to set margins for the third print. All three printed to the edge of the paper. Any ideas? Anyone?

I think I figured it out. It is the paper size setting. A4 paper is not the same as 8 1/2" x 11". I switched to the Letter size settings and the border came out as expected. I am impressed by the quality of the prints coming out of the Pro 300.

I was preparing the picture with Lightroom classic and used the the plugin in LRC to access Canon Professional Print & Layout, but this error appeared "This printer is not registered with Professional Print & Layout. Exiting Professional Print & Layout." I skipped the part you said to registered the product, since I wanted to try it out as fast as I could. I am from Panama (Central America) and I bought the printer at the Canon Store here locally. I tried to registered in the Canon USA Site and said that the serial number is not sold in the USA, so it can't be registered there. I tried to register in the Canon Latinamerica site, and it did go thru the request but I have to wait 24 hours for it to be registered. Is that normal? sorry it is my first Professional photo printer. Thank you.
