I haven't posted to the group in several years, but I've been following.
On this topic, maybe I have some information to offer. I recently had
reason to try the "Fracture" service that most of you (in North America,
at least) have probably already seen advertised
(https://fractureme.com). I had reason recently to try them out.
Unfortunately, the original I had to work with was less than optimal.
The best I could do after cropping was about 6" x 8" at 100 dpi. I must
say that I was impressed with what they were able to do with that. I'm
not sure I could've done better with a local high quality photo printer
on paper. I'm looking forward to trying them again with a better
(higher resolution) original. I will admit that ICC profiles weren't an
issue for that print (I didn't have them), but (a) the result was as
color correct as I could've asked, lacking the profile and (b) it will
be something I'm looking hard at on the next one. But there will
definitely be more. From my limited test, 9/10, would buy again.

Eric, as I’ve posted here before, I’ve had very good results with Bay Photo.
They’ve done everything from 4 X 6 inch up to 2 X 3 feet prints on paper,
canvas and metal for me and I have nothing but good things to say about them.
They will offer discounts (usually 20% off) from time to time when you get on
their mail list. You use their software to upload your file and pick the
numerous options available.

Subject: Printing
I have never printed a single photo. I'd like to give it a try. With this image, just
as a test:
<https://www.flickr.com/photos/eeweir/48678438307/in/dateposted-public/lightbox/>
It’s 2.5 MB, 4032 x 2268 pixels
I’ve checked out printing services via this review:
<https://www.pcmag.com/roundup/353850/the-best-photo-printing-services>
AdoramaPix and Nations Photo Lab appealed. But I see printing is now available via
Flickr. Thought I’d give it a try.
Wondering about a 10 x 20 or 12 x 24 paper print, lustre finish. With an image
this size, what do you think?
Also interested in comparison of Flickr to other printing services, e.g.,
AdoramaPix, Nations Photo Lab, or other.
Thanks,
