Custom Media Type Setup on Canon imagePROGRAF

13 Mar 2017

I've been using the Canon image PROGRAF printers for almost a year now. I use a PRO-1000 and a PRO-4000.

One of the huge advantages I found, other than the significant bump in image qualiy, is the ability to set up custom media types.

The key advantages being

  • Naming the paper types on the printer display & the on-screen meus (in photoshop etc)
  • Uploading the ICC profiles into the printer, essentially, embedding the profile.
  • Avoid waste prints by accidentally printing on different presets or with incorrect ICC profiles applied.

Please see the video below for the complete walk-through.
