I've recently moved from Windows to the Mac, and am experiencing an issue with color shifts between what I'm seeing on my Apple Cinema Display and what gets printed by my Canon S9000 inkjet.
I have calibrated the display by using the Colorvision Spyder.
I process my EOS-1D MkII raw files by using Phase One's Capture One, tagging the developed TIFF files as Wide Gamut RGB [which is how Capture One is set to output them].
I preserve profiles when I open the files in Photoshop and they look fine. And I have printed the PDI test image and it looks pretty accurate against what I see on my monitor.
And yet, I have an image of a tree . . . the bark is a very neutral grey color as measured by the eyedropper sampler in Photoshop. But when I print this image on my S9000, it has a very bluish cast.
I have tried using various profiles for the printer and nothing seems to change this.
I could understand it if the PDI test image showed a similar cast, but it does not.
I even tried taking the RAW image into Photoshop via CS2's RAW converter, but I get the same result - image looks the way I think it should on the display, but comes out with the blue cast when printed.
What am I missing here? Any suggestions on troubleshooting this issue would be much appreciated.
