How to disable color management in the Canon iP100 print driver for printing with ICC profiles

To print a photo to the iP100 or iP110 with the use of a (custom) ICC profile, you have to make sure that all color management in the iP100 driver dialog is turned off. 

 

You can use Photoshop or any other ICC aware program to then print to the iP100 without any color management introduced by the driver itself and match your screen colors (presumed that your screen is calibrated) to the printer output.

 

The below illustrations are with a driver in the Dutch language, but I am sure you can make the translation based on the illustrations.

 

It is important to select the right media type (type of paper) because the driver will adjust the amount of ink used and dry time accordingly. This means that you need to know with what media type an ICC profile is made. I you do not know, you can go with trial and error.

 

You can download ICC profiles for the Canon iP100 here. 

Now, also make sure that the iP100 driver does not itself use an ICC profiel that came with the driver.

Finally make sure that the driver is not 'optimizing' the photo prior to printing and by doing so introduce all kinds of automated corrections.

In Photoshop you have to make sure that it is Photoshop itself that handles color management and that the correct ICC profile is loaded. You can experiment with the rendering intent. I have the best result with Relative Colorimetric or Saturation.
