Quick update...
I have done test prints with a few local and remote labs on a variety of papers, acrylic and aluminium. I got good results with the small acrylic and metal prints but the acrylic seems too heavy for large prints and none of the local guys can do really large metal prints.
I did one large metal print with a vendor in Melbourne (a long story in itself) which produced a disappointing result.
The best results so far have been prints on fine art paper at ImageScience in Melbourne. IS provide ICC profiles for their printer/paper combinations which makes it possible to do soft proofing and careful adjustment to get an optimal result. Having been through the ringer a few times I am of the opinion that labs which don't provide ICC profiles aren't worth bothering with for anything more than snapshots...
I'm currently having some of the IS prints framed.
Cheers,
Rick.
