I have always printed my photos at home (Epson R800). After reading some favorable remarks about Costco’s services, I decided to try it out for myself.
I ordered a set of about 60 pictures from a recent trip to Florida online to be picked up locally. At first I was very impressed with the quality of the images. But when I got them home I realized that (1) the colors were not as saturated as I generally get off the R800 and (2) the reds were much "flatter", no pop. Anyone have similar experiences and any suggestions? (1)Yes I do have my system color managed with Monaco hardware – scanner, printer and monitor.
(2) I also downloaded the ICC profile from Dry Creek for this Costco location. But soft-proofing the files in PSCS2, while there was a difference in saturation (especially the reds), it was not as dramatic as the end results.
Thanks for reading,
Steve
