Canon PIXMA G7000 series (G7020, G7070, etc) color balance and pale issue

[xpcoolz]

Hi, i just bought a canon pixma g7000 series, and i found out that the print result although it's quite detail (based on plain paper printing), it lacks the color balance and kinda pale compared to that i got from my previous canon pixma printer (PIXMA MG8100 series) that print on the same plain paper.

i also notice that i don't have the manual color balance settings on my mac (even the canon manual for mac doesn't show this settings) https://ij.manual.canon/ij/webmanual/PrinterDriver/W/G7000 series/1.0/EN/PPG/dg-c_color_balance.html

i tried to use colorsync utility on my mac, but the result is not much different either, anything that i can do to fix this?

here are the sample image, the image was printed using photo settings (basically the highest settings that i could find). I don't calibrate my color lcd / printer using dedicated hardware, but my previous printer can print it just fine.

I'm having the exact same issue with my pixma. All of a sudden my prints are coming out dull. Have you managed to find a solution?

no i've been looking around and until today found no solution

Not sure whether this will help but I managed to fix mine. Connect your printer to your Mac via cable, not wifi. Remove any old printer devices and set up a fresh with the new cable connection. I also changed the inks to fresh cartridges.
