Hi all,

I have a Canon TS9570.

I'm trying to print something in ONLY cyan.
The file I am printing in photoshop is only in cyan, there are no other color information.
When I print the file, the printer keeps adding tiny magenta or magenta-like dots to the cyan image.
Its not noticeable when you look at it in print, but when I scan the print, you can see the dots are there.


I need it to be PURE cyan, because its part of a comic-artist process where I print a draft in cyan, draw over it in black ink then scan the art and remove the cyan in photoshop. When I do this, it leaves residues of pink dots where the cyan draft used to be, and its very time consuming to manually erase.

please help!

Usually this is the color management/dithering of the printer not your file. See if you can turn off the correction in Photoshop and also in the Canon driver and try printing, managing colors with photoshop. If the TS9570 us still mixing ink then you likely cannot obtain pure pure cyan from this printer.
