But don't set your expectations too high. If you have a good monitor your high gamut color profile may be showing you things visually that are just not possible to create on a piece of photo paper.

Although I shoot raw and process my raw images in Adobe RGB on a good IPS monitor my print images are converted to sRGB and sent to a lab known to process in sRGB (which is probably most of them). I also instruct the lab to print my images exactly as they receive them. They are not to adjust color or exposure or sharpen or do anything... just print it as is. That way I get back a paper image that's a little bit duller than what I see on the illuminated screen but otherwise has a pretty close color match.

You may find the discussion here interesting.

Hi Paul,

Yeah I know that software, she has the app for the iPAD and we can
print in our Lexmark x204 through our MACPRO Early 2008 using the iPAD
but I want her to have her own minilab, no computer required, superb
color quality so she can print her pictures and that's it. She has
become even more exigent than me and now she spots all these color
problems in seconds! I have created a monster :))) Hahahaha. It's
incredible, she knows when a picture is taken with a prime lens or
not, she quickly spotting chromatic aberrations, etc... I need
something really good in terms of color accuracy.

Hi all,

I was planing to buy my wife a printer so she can slide in the SD card
from our E-M5s and print the pictures she wants. She uses also the
iPAD a lot so it has to be AirPrint compatible, that's why I cannot
but the Epson PrintMate Charm, I heard good things about it. Is there
any print solution with better color accuracy, compatible with SD
cards, WIFI, Airprint, PC/MAC and low cost per print?


The only thing I can speak to is the AirPrint thing - if you're running
Macs, having an AirPrint-native printer is not a necessity. You can buy
Printopia (pretty cheap - $19.95) and as long as the Mac it's running on is
turned on, it will show up on the iPad as an available printer. I use it to
print to our two older LaserJets.
