Bill, the 4x6's that I had done in GA were done on a Kodak kiosk to a minilab printer, also Kodak. There are no print data on the back, just file name/number. On the 8x12's that Costco did they use Noritsu and Fuji printers. The second line on the back reads 1211 081 N N N N NH Z094.2/ 100.0
All 26 prints read the same. All of the rendering was done in LR, exported as highest quality jpegs, and burned to a CD to take to the lab. There was very littly difference in the settings that I used in ACR. They all required a little increase in brightness, very minor tweaks in color and/or hue, clarity to 50, Contrast to 40 to 50, sharpening to 85 at 0.8 pixels. Each file is around 8.5 to 9.5 meg. Shot with the K-10D and 50~200 DA lens, 1000sec @ f/6.3, mostly at 150 to 200 mm except the closeups of my brothers houses which were done at 50mm because we went down to about 500 ft above the ground. If I take the same jpegs or the raws at the above settings and print on the 1800 to 8.5 x 11, I would have to boost the contrast considerably to attempt to match what came from Costco. Naturally the super gloss fuji paper adds some to the appearance, but as I said before, under most other conditions I can get a lab print and a ink jet print to look very close.
