David, I regularily use frontier equipped labs and had the same problem as you initially. For whatever reason the frontiers ignore all profiles. I am not sure if that behaviour can be changed, but its how every frontier lab I have tried is setup. As long as I convert my files to Srgb they work fine. It's actually a joy to be able to send/download a file to them and know that they won't be tampered with or "improved". As long as you supply the files sharpened and in the Srgb space they are very consistent and accurate -as well as cheap and quick! Some of the labs also have profiles available so you can preview on your screen. Unlike most minilabs I have tested, most of the Fuji-Frontier labs have reasonably knowledgable operators who are more than just button pushers. Every one I have tried also has at least one workstation running photoshop. I have had occaision where a rush job is needed and I have been allowed to use the station to tweak files before printing. A good relationship with the operators helps! Regards, Frank Styevko from OZ[
