I wasn’t meaning a photograph printing store, I was referring to a printing shop that prints posters, flyers, books, etc. on paper. Like with a printing press. However, if what the man wants is photo prints printed by someone else, then yes, sRGB is most likely what he needs to send.
In any and all cases, ask what they want and send them that. After you have calibrated your monitor, of course. Rick S.

The majority of high end US print shops want sRGB for photo prints (not books or offset printing - in that case I'd let them do the conversion unless you know what you're doing).

Google SPYDER. It's simple to use, fast and accurate. There are others. If you are sending files out to a print shop send CMYK images in North America. The preference in Europe I think is LAB. Check with your printer. Try the US Sheetfed/un-coated profile at home or anything that matches your paper and gets you close to your calibrated monitor image.
