Labs will hold onto sRGB as long as they have printers that write to wet
process photo paper. It won't be soon that the cost advantage is erased.

Amen. Epson's new -900 series printers with HR (?) ink sets actually print
colors no monitor can reveal. It's scary. <g>

I use ProPhoto rather than Adobe or sRGB. Bigger bucket for all those
colors. My Epson 3880 isn't up to the -900s yet, but it's awfully close. If
I were only doing web work and getting labs to make my prints, I'd shoot
sRGB, but you have to wonder how much longer the labs are going to hold to
sRGB in the face of new printers and ink sets. I think right now you can
tell the difference between sRGB and ProPhoto, if print controls are tight,
but I've already made my pick so I'm not going to spend time running tests
when that time could be better spent napping. <g>
