Peter:
The comments from others have pretty much echoed mine. Also remember you are
asking the questions to a forum of people who believe in this technology and
have seen it work.
I don't know where Collin County is but have you thought of doing a little
informal local "survey"? Call 10 successful photographers within 50 miles.
The phone book ads might be a reasonable place to get the names. Decent size
ad equals some level of success.
Ask them, "do you shoot more than 25% of your work digital?"
"Do you view these images on your computer screen for sales, customer
selection, retouching etc?"
"Is that monitor calibrated with a hardware device like ColorVision Spyder,
Gretag, X-rite, Monaco, or any other manufacturer?"
After 10 calls I think you'll have some interesting feedback to respond to
your lab operations manager.
You might also call a couple local digital labs and ask them if there
recommend or prefer that their customers use calibrated monitors or not.
In the digital photography world the monitor is the viewfinder. Doesn't it
make sense to have the biggest, brightest, best quality and most accurate
one available?
