It is not a Postscript printer, so I don't have a choice.
That simplifies life...
The color gamut of the 2 profiles created by the above methods are too
small(I compare them with hp p1215 color laser & CMYK). At the
beginning, I guess it might be the nature of the printer,
The "raw" color gamut of the printer is shown in the printed target... if you've used settings that actually get "raw" output. So you can see the gamut right there, before you even measure or build a profile...
however, when
I check its canned profile, it covers SRGB! Therefore, I guess I've got
something wrong in printing the 729 color patches.
I assume that you mean by this that you get brighter color from the canned profile than from a custom profile... definately an issue with your settings then...
Inside the printer driver, under the color management section, I've the
following selections :
- color adjustment (I can choose [no color adjustment] option which
disable CMY, brightness, satur adjustment but allow me to adjust gamma
value)
- PhotoEnhance
- ICM (disable all adj even gamma value)
- sRGB (disable all adj even gamma value)
You don't note which you have tried. You should be printing your target (as well as your final prints) with the Color Adjustment: No Color Adjustment setting selected.
