- Printing black and white images on the Canon G550. Comparing the printer driver and custom icc profiles for B&W printing on fine art and lustre photo paper.
The G650 is the same printer (but with a scanner), In the US the 650 is the G620 Wireless MegaTank Photo Printer.

3:50 This comparison is spot on. I have the Canon Pro-200 and was able to get "pretty good" B&W results thanks to testing and following your advice. It is outstanding for color. Thanks Keith!
Thanks - glad it was of help!
Thanks Kieth, so far I am liking my G620 here in Canada. Haven't tried B&W yet though! Thanks for all the great work you do!
Thanks - the full review should be along in a week or so
CONGRATS on your great work and thanks a lot for taking the time on this “entry level” printers. I am willing to buy a “better” (Pro 1000 or Pro 2100 like) someday but first there’s a long learning curve ahead and you are making it easier.
Thanks - I do like the challenge of getting good prints on some of the smaller printers ;-)
Thanks for making this video, I haven't tried black and white photography for years but perhaps I should experiment.
The G550 needs some effort to make good B&W, but it is possible!
Actually great printer.
I tried with Keith colour Profile.
pretty happy with it.
Again thank for Profile
Thanks - I'll have the main review done for next week
Another excellent video Keith 👍
Thanks, I'll have the main review ready in a week or so.
Thanks Kieth 👍
Glad you liked it
Tack!
Thank you!
Thanks for your video. Please, where I could found this ICC profile for Canon G550?
read the written review...
Enjoy your videos, Keith. Might you consider using a lavalier mic for audio? The placement of this one results in some annoying reverberation. Cheers.
Thanks, I have tried that, but I kept hitting it with prints and things and got caught up in the cable :-)
I'm afraid the kitchen has a lot of stone surfaces, and my office has no space for doing the videos. I will have another look at echo reduction in my video editing software (Resolve 16), where a couple of notch filters might cut the echo a bit?
Hi Keith I’m interested in getting new printer for photography would you recommend the canon G650 or IP 8750 for photo quality
Neither really... ;-)
I've never seen an 8750, and the G650 has broken colour management on Macs [which is all we have here for testing]. Ink is appreciably cheaper on the g650 though.
Mr Keith Sir - I am a UK based photogpraher with a hot new toy the Leica Q2 Monochrome. I am going to be printing to sell - but need to 'soft proof' to a very high standard - or even perhaps using it just to print and sell (which I would prefer). So whilst I have seen your video my questions are. Is there a printer - Canon or Epson - up to A2 which is going to be better purely for this purpose? Am I going to get through so much ink it just won't be worth it? I value your opinion above all others - thanks Simon J Miller
Pigment ink is a must - that means Pro-1000 or P900 at 17" and reasonable size.
I've detailed written reviews of each of those printers, specifically covering B&W as well, on the Northlight Image site.
Soft proofing needs a good screen (and calibration) - however it is (IMHO) way over rated, especially for B&W, where you are never printing with profiles (as I had to here). Printing samples (hard proofing) on a printer like this would be a waste of time (at best).
I've lots of articles about B&W - such as how to perfect printing with suitable test images.
You want top quality B&W, don't think you can do it on the cheap with a printer like this ;-) It would gain you nothing, just to be cheap on ink!
@@KeithCooper Keith you are a legend - thanks so much for the detailed reply - I was thinking in the £1K price band - so the Pro range was where I was at - I have seen many - if not all of your other videos - you are the oracle as far as I am concerned - thanks again and good luck with everything. I shall of course continue to watch!!! Simon J Miller
Thanks, but do read the articles as well? - the videos are often only there to supplement my more comprehensive written articles. Start here:
www.northlight-images.co.uk/digital-black-and-white-photography/
I started the videos last summer - the articles go back to 2003 ;-)
I've been looking for a printer for printing out my photo projects so that I can lay them out on the floor and have a better look. That small Canon seems nice but I was wondering if the Epson EcoTank L805 would do the trick as well, seems there's a better ink management there.
I don't know that printer I'm afraid. I don't normally test small printers like this - the one I've looked at is the ET-8550
@@KeithCooper still, your work is amazing and it's actually ver rare to find a solid printer review on YT, seems to be a niche. And in all of my photography journey, picking up a printer is the most annoying choice so far...I think I'll just go with a "quantity for the money" option to have preview prints and use the lab for any serious work.
Hi, i have a silly question: how do I buy a color profile? In what factors should I put attention?
Some paper suppliers will make profiles if you buy paper
There are companies who will make profiles - most will provide a target to print, which you post off, and they will email a profile.
For this printer though it depends on Mac or PC - Mac profiles are non-standard (see my review)
@@KeithCooper would I be able to find paper suppliers that provide icc just by searching in Google? I'm very interested in black and white in matte paper and as far I have seen in your videos the printer does generate a color cast with the default parameters so that would be kind of hard for me to deal with it...
no idea - depends where you are.
In the UK I know of several
Yes a profile really helps with basic printers like this
@@KeithCooper thanks a lot for your replies! I'm now watching a lot of your videos. I never thought how interesting and massive is the universe of printing and your passion is contagious!
