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.

But is it enjoying the buzz?
