Hi,

I'm trying to calibrate my printer, I printed this evaluation chart: http://www.outbackphoto.com/printinginsights/pi049/essay.html
on my Canon IPF6400 printer and I'm confused why I'm getting these results: if I print with "Printer Manages Colors" I get an RGB patch that looks good, but the skin tones and the strawberries are way desaturated. I've tried printing with "Photoshop Manages Colors" and "Printer Profile" set to "sRGB v3.0 (Canon)" and that seems to render skin tones and the strawberries close to what it should look like, but the RGB patch looks off and it has banding. This is happening 100% of the time. I've attached the screenshots I took of the settings as well as the prints:

Setup B (Photoshop manages colors, Color Profile: "sRGB v3.0 (Canon)"):

Sorry for the long post, any idea appreciated. Thanks
