Basically you are paying them to do final color correction when you pass it off to a lab, so it is really up to the person who is working on it to get it right when it is printed.<br>

<br>It prints 11"x14" (279.4mm x 355.6mm) on 13"x19" paper with 8 colors. The reviews are really good, and I can't find anything similar for under $14,000 US.<br><br>Anyways, I just thought I'd ask..<br>

</div>Just wondering what you'd call a professional printer. Would<br>
an inkjet qualify for that category ?<br>
<br>
I've got an Epson Stylus Photo R360 which gives excellent<br>
results, has 6 separate ink compartments and various input<br>
connections (eg. straight from camera/card, USB or IR) and<br>
has a nice screen for most maintainance tasks; in that<br>
regard you can call it "standalone" since it doesn't rely on<br>
external drivers for those.<br>
Linux support is impeccable except for CD-printing from a<br>
computer (a work in progress) but you can always bypass that<br>
by creating your CD-label, get it on a USB-drive and use the<br>
frontal USB port on the printer. < ad closing :-) ><br>
<br>
If you're not getting desired results with a specific<br>
linux/cusp printerdriver, you may want to try the TurboPrint<br>
drivers. I've tested them on a couple of printers with very<br>
good results. But, these are commercial (~25$) and not<br>
opensource.<br>
<br>
But for all serious work I go to a local photo/printshop.<br>
Their machines take sRGB.icc profile for granted,<br>
unfortunately there's a slight difference in output between<br>
individual machines there. So it's not only us poor home<br>
enthusiasts which are having problems with .ICC profiles.<br>
