With a machine that is profiled the "exposure decisions are put in your hands not the operators" So actually the Costco printer with the Dry Creek Photo Profile http://www.drycreekphoto.com/ for your neighborhood store is a very good combination. You may upload to your store online but you have to pick it up yourself. They do offer a shipped version but this is done at a central location with lots of printers and no way to specify the profile. Remember that even the most expensive custom color printer will probably have the same machine and paper so your paying for the operator, using profiles eliminates this. They are cheaper than anyone. That being said, if you can't bring yourself to do this http://www.whcc.com/ is great Roy Feldman, photojournalism & editorial photography
