In this post I am sharing the results of those tests and the conclusion I drew from them. However, since most of my photography and thus my printing is in black and white, I was curious to find out if I am missing out on something when ignoring the BW mode and decided to run some tests to understand the difference. I avoided the BW mode, mainly because there is no documentation available what it actually does differently and I am suspect of anything I do not fully understand or have control of. This approach produced excellent results and I never had any issues with unwanted color cast in my black and white prints. So far I have been using the color mode, with custom ICC profiles created for the papers I use and my specific printer (henceforth “color mode”).
Second, you can use the printer’s dedicated Black and White Photo mode (henceforth “ BW mode”), which is an available option in the printer driver, Canon Professional Print and Layout and Canon Print Studio Pro. When it comes to printing black and white images with the PRO-1000, you have two options: first, you can use the normal color mode with an ICC profile. Testing the Black and White Photo mode of the PRO-1000
