Adoramapix is unreliable (Adoramapix woes)

2016-07-18 Thread Igor PDML-StR
I appreciate everybody's responses with the suggestions of alternatives places. I thought I'd provide an update about the saga with AdoramaPix. Last week, I spoke with Adoramapix representatives and they offered as one of the options to upload the files with the SRGB color space and they sai

I generally find a lab that uses a wide format inkjet printer, like the Canon imagePROGRAF iPF8400. These accept AdobeRGB and support a much larger colour gamut. I find the colours richer and look better mounted under glass, The latest thing I had printed was onto acrylic, and it looks amazing fra

Sorry to hear you had a problem, Igor. I've only had them do several 20x30s, but they've never been a problem. But...anything I send out to a lab gets sRGB embedded. The only time I use any other profile is if I'm doing my own printing. -p On 7/11/2016 6:33 PM, Igor PDML-StR wrote: I'v
