Can I get some cheese to go with the egg on my face?? It was the nut 18"behind the monitor, I put a regular magenta in the photo magenta spot.... SWAPPED it out and viola blue skies.

I have the identical problem as you do only that everything turns green! Same printer, same halfway solution with the low resolution images, which have the right color, but no full rez printing without the color shift. Tried all you have mentioned, but on Mac - even wiped the computer and reinstalled OS, but at no avail. I am using Canon paper and genuine Canon ink, and the once correct profile. Hate like you to call Canon and throw good money after bad - spent money on support once and the guy read me the owner's manual. Wished someone can help.
