I don't at all doubt that's it's cheaper overall for me to use a printing
service for a print. The question in my mind is, will I end up doing more
"turns" for each print? With my home setup, I've got as close to a
closed-loop color system as I'm likely get without spending really big
bucks. I edit, balance, print, done. One "turn". I never have to print
it twice, unless the paper feed messes up or something like that. As long
as I export to and preview with the service's color profile, can I expect
to be able to keep doing prints in one "turn" with a service?
What isn't working in my favour is that I'm not doing as much printing as I
thought, so I have a $2.5k bookend sitting behind me that drinks ink the way
I drink red wine.
