Hey Rob, what do you look for in a lab? What file formats do you prefer to send? How do you guarantee color accuracy, paper/ink quality and all the rest of it? If you'd like to say something about the other side of it--what to avoid--I'd appreciate hearing about it. MC
As for printing, I use a lab that specializes in prints. I use a photolab that will do digital files to photo paper and for enlargements I'll go to the lab (Xinia Productions, I'm part operator) and print via Epson printers on archival papers. It'll take a while to get home gear to look like lab quality work, I'd rather let the lab do it, it saves me time and money and they do a better job for me.
