A nationally known photographic lab, Miller's Imaging in Kansas, use the
Frontier (along with other direct digital printers) and does not like or use
any other space other than sRGB, nor do they want their customers to use
anything but. I don't know why they believe in this workspace so deeply or
how this ever came to be, but I sure would like to know.
So far, the best way I have found to work in a situation like this is to do
all your manipulation in your chosen color workspace, archive the image and
then, as your final step prior to sending the file to the lab, convert the
file to sRGB. Then when the file arrives at the lab, they will assign the
printer profile as Miller's is supposedly doing.
Is there anything wrong with this workflow (other than the fact it's going
into sRGB)?
