Export a tiff file from Aperture.  I've been happy with WHCC - good
prices and quick delivery.  They have a service where they don't touch
your files at all (cheaper) and one where they work with them some
before printing (more expensive).  I'm sure if you explained your
needs to them, they would accommodate you - if you just wanted
sharpening etc, and no color correction.  Actually, if you went with
them, they prefer jpeg at quality 10.
