I just bought an Epson R3000 printer and I really like it. I use both Epson Premium Glossy and Canson Baryta paper. I have a question on the Canson paper.
I downloaded the Canson Baryta profile. I use that profile when I print. The tone of the results does not come close to the Epson.
When I print a color print I need to cool the color temperature down -9 to get a similar result to the Epson. If I don't do that it is too yellow. Perhaps that's because of the less white Canson base (no optical brighteners).
When I print a black and white print (using the Advanced Black White printing feature of the Epson) on the Canson I get the following results:
If I use the Cool setting I get a Neutral tone print.
To actually get the Canson to print a Cool tone I need to change the Cool settings from -8/-45 to about -10/-55 to get similar.
The results when I make these adjustments is excellent...I really do like the Canson printer. So I can continue doing this and won't be any worse for wear. However, I am just surprised that the profile default is so much different than the Epson and requires these adjustments.
Does anyone else use the Canson with a similar Epson printer and if so are your results similar?
Thanks!

That does not sound right. It seems like to much adjustment to get the print you are after. At the risk of stating the obvious, are you sure are using the right ICC from Canson? Did you try contacting Canson directly?
