Aperture and Printing with a Canon Selphy dye-sub

Hi everybody,

I want to use my Canon Selphy CP510 (dye-sub) printer for prointing from Aperture. I was used from Photoshop to disable color management in the program, but make use of the color management in the printer driver. The printer driver came without any ICC-profile, but by this way, prints became excellent.
In Aperture the only way seems to be to set (in the Printing Windows) Color Management to "System Managed". By this way, color become dark, dull, and there is also a light color cast.
I found in the web a ICC-profile from am CP330, but nothing changed, when I selected this profile for printing.

Do you have experience with this printer (or any Canon Selphy printers)?
Someone told me to let make a color ICC for this printer by professionals (send a print of a certain color traget to a studio with a special scanner in order to produce a color profile)

regards,
Sandro

I would suggest running the ColorSync Utility in Applications/Utilities. Click the Devices toolbar button and click on your printer in the Printers section of the list. That will display what profile the OS is using for the printer. Even if the printer did not come with a profile, the OS will assign a generic profile to it.

Try selecting that profile as the printer profile to use in the Aperture print dialog. I think that might be similar to what you were doing in Photoshop.
