Hi All,

Brian Schrayer needs suggestions for a service bureau for making some prints. He needs a vendor who provides profiles he can use for soft proofing.

See this thread for more about his issue.

If you have a suggested vendor, please post the info here.

Thanks Everyone,

Here is a website that provides a list of various places that make prints, along with information about the printer/paper being used and the ICC profiles. 

https://www.drycreekphoto.com/icc/ 

I haven't used these services or the profiles (I make my prints at home)  but I think it might be a good place to begin the search.

I think I've heard this question asked a number of times.  I don't usually have prints made, but I do recall that a great many people in those threads mentioned West Coast Imaging as great people to work with.  If all you want is ICC profiles for their printers, most places that print will provide them.  You can even get them for Costco.

Just an FYI, everyone...

West Coat Imaging is now Metal and Paper Pro. It is owned and operated by the same folks.

Their contact info is Here.
