Paul, I am glad that you didn't experience problems with them. In part, it is my lack of proper checking. I was very short on time, and I just assumed that they can work with standard color profiles. How naive I was! For comparison, - as far as I remember, Mpix uses color profiles and even

Sorry to hear you had a problem, Igor. I've only had them do several 20x30s, but they've never been a problem. But...anything I send out to a lab gets sRGB embedded. The only time I use any other profile is if I'm doing my own printing. -p On 7/11/2016 6:33 PM, Igor PDML-StR wrote:
