That's only true if the folks running and maintaining the $500,000 printer have a clue and also care about the results

My experience with printing in non-specialist stores is that the results are pretty ordinary. Some of the local specialist photo printers I tried were better but not a lot.
I have an Epson 3800 like Rally and with some tweaking I can get excellent results from it. For really big prints I use Image Science in Melbourne. Using their printer profiles and soft proofing in Lightroom gets prints as close to perfect as I have been able to achieve...
Cheers,
Rick.
