<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"]<span style="color: black;"]Go to drycreekphoto.com, a company in the business of profiling commercial printers. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"]They post individual printer profiles (by store location, at least for Costco) for you to download. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"]They also have very detail information on color management and step-by-step instruction on soft proofing, with Photoshop of cause. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"]The profiles are updated every six months.<o></o>

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"]<span style="color: black;"]One thing you need to know is that the prints will never be the same as shown on the monitors, especially the new bright and highly contrasted LED monitors. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"]To make it closer (or very close), you can prepare the digital images for printing by adding &frac12; stop or so, increasing the local contrast and sharpening more, to the images otherwise already look good on monitors. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"]If you do not have Photoshop, save the photo with sRGB color and DO NOT embed the ICC Profile.<o></o>
