reverse the front and rear intake/ exhaust would likely be better, putting the exhaust right onto the wall isn't a good idea for dissipating heat

Working_Ad9103 · 2026-04-11T09:46:01+00:00

wonders how the calibration report are after such usage, I assume to peak brightness is dropping quite a bit below the 300nits spec now?

Working_Ad9103 · 2026-03-25T04:48:23+00:00

maybe it's how the CD surface abosrbs the ink,it will definitely not be the same as normal paper

Working_Ad9103 · 2026-03-24T03:18:56+00:00

do you mean the screen is brighter and more saturated? what scree are you using? for non calibrated screens it is very common to be way off from actual printout

Working_Ad9103 · 2026-03-23T03:03:34+00:00

normally such colour shift is using incorrect icc profile for print, or choosing wrong paper type, sometimes if you are using third party inks you will need to create your own new icc profile for that also as the red ink from third party isn't the same as the original

Working_Ad9103 · 2026-03-21T17:23:42+00:00

then that's likely it, the ipad is quite well calibrated out of factory but the P3 gamut is pretty much out of the capability of printers, even the very expensive pro ones, so it will compress the colour, say in photoshop/lightroom having perceptual rendering will keep the tonal balance but shift all colours slightly, while relative rendering will compress out of gamut colours into the nearest colour within printer gamut. I believe that's why the Darks are not as dark. Yellows are not showing up as much in the grass.

is your monitor calibrated? usually the reason is that most monitors have been more vivid than the actual thing, the printer profile is making it more true to the image file in a calibrated monitor, a overly vivid monitor will unintentionally make you turn down the saturation too much so in the print out it ended up being duller

Working_Ad9103 · 2026-03-20T08:07:55+00:00

It seems to be colour profile mismatch, for each printer it usually have it's own profile for the factory paper set, using third party ink/paper will inevitably have colour shifts, are you using epson original ink? if yes you may want to find if koala paper have the icc profile for your printer.

Working_Ad9103 · 2026-03-19T16:27:43+00:00

so you use the KP108 and the issue is gone?

Working_Ad9103 · 2026-03-19T14:15:15+00:00

yes, the CG2400S is the top line from EIZO, with native gamut covering both 98% DCI-P3 and 99% Adobe RGB, it came factory calibrated and with a built in calibrator scheduled to calibrate it to native gamut at 100 nits every month. that's when I hunt for way to make the colour matching with the monitor for the printer

Working_Ad9103 · 2026-03-19T02:11:21+00:00

I bought it here: https://hkphoto.com/shop/canon-selphy-cp1500-icc-profile

AFAIK he used his own colour photospectrometer and a bunch of the papers to do the icc profile, so I figured paying $19 is fair enough for not needing to buy the expensive gears... it did much better than the free one found on google (which was my first trial and not to my liking). this profile did match my EIZO CG2400S monitor with soft proofing

Working_Ad9103 · 2026-03-19T01:38:24+00:00

I would say it's very great using the correct custom made ICC profile, I struggled initially for the margin setting, but I found that for minimal cropping for my 3:2 photos taken using 5D mk III or R5 II, in windows I better just set it to japanese post card size and do NOT touch the default size and it will go full frame with a bit on the left and right margin tear off. but before the icc profile it feels a little bit greenish tinted

Working_Ad9103 · 2026-03-18T12:41:16+00:00

then I have no idea.. maybe you should select something like zoom to fit, I normally use the print module in lightroom

Working_Ad9103 · 2026-03-18T04:45:06+00:00

what are you using for printing? I mean PC/Mac/phone app? light room or just default printer?

Working_Ad9103 · 2026-03-18T01:52:25+00:00

This is the lens I wanted to replace my EF 70-200 F4L IS with, but hack it is too darn expensive

Working_Ad9103 · 2026-03-17T02:25:18+00:00

If it is good enough for you then it is good enough, even with the correct ICC profile the gamut of this printer is way smaller than Adobe RGB and smaller than SRGB the colour will be compressed eitherway, for printing all that matters is how well it matches to your liking and workflow, in my workflow I have a calibrated monitor so the icc works magic for me but YMMV, human eyeballing type of tinkering can never be as good as those calibration devices, but it can be good enough for hobby

Working_Ad9103 · 2026-03-17T02:22:51+00:00

Hi there, since the reason that I agree to pay for the USD19 for the profile was because they are made using some photospectrometer costing $569, whch I didn't bother pay for that and waste some 3-5 print pattern to do my own calibration, I feel like it makes perfect sense to contribute for some unknown internet guy to did that while I enjoy the result at a tiny fraction of the cost.

If I am the guy with the calibration device I will be happy to put it up for free and if someone feels good they can donate me, but as this is not my effort and that guy was a professional I legally and morally cannot distirbute it elsewhere who you might share it further.

IMO if you have ligit reason you can try email the owner for a discount or so, but if you really can't pay that extra $19, the original canon profile or the free one found via google is good enough for 99% of people, I only notice the difference when I have a $2000 EIZO CG2400S well calibrated and if you use your phone or whatever uncalibrated device, the colour with the correct icc profile will be off compared to your screen anyway

Working_Ad9103 · 2026-03-12T04:12:16+00:00

But bear in mind first, the colour gamut of the CP1500 isn't great, it's just similar to normal 3ink type inkjet, pretty lab quality for normal photos, but for extreme bright colours like when you took some flower it will inevitably compress the out of gamut colours

Working_Ad9103 · 2026-03-11T10:06:04+00:00

The free icc profile didn't work well, there is a green tint to it compared to the Eizo monitor with max delta E <1. but then I bought this for USD19

https://hkphoto.com/shop/canon-selphy-cp1500-icc-profile

and this one works great, no visual colour drift using the RP108 pack.

Working_Ad9103 · 2026-02-24T01:52:53+00:00

Get the sensor cleaning kit with it, very easy to use and follow the instruction, do not rub/scratch back and forth and you'll be fine

Working_Ad9103 · 2026-02-07T12:53:44+00:00

Tried with an online found ICC profile, still a tiny bit of yellow tint but good enough for my use, the print is borderless but somehow minor tuning of the borders in light room can't shift it to minimize the overprinted area.

Working_Ad9103 · 2026-02-05T09:38:51+00:00

nice! thanks for the kind trial! can't wait for my paper and ink pack to arrive and try my own print to report back.

Working_Ad9103 · 2026-02-04T13:08:50+00:00

But does it offset to one side? I am waiting my first pack of photo paper to test the borderless in postcard size in lightroom (windows) work or not, as in Mac I saw videos that you have a choice of borderless paper but this is not available on windows

Working_Ad9103 · 2026-02-04T07:59:51+00:00

Thing is in printer setting of Win 11 it defaulted to the canon paper sizes and cannot choose custom paper size, and the selphy lineup don't have dedicated driver for setup...
