All printers will be different depending on ink brands and paper stock unless you supply a hard copy for them to match to. They ask that the images be supplied in RGB, so i suspect they are printing digitally. I did read previously that some people did not get the results they were expecting in terms of colour, but in some way i suspect that may have been their own fault based on the images they were supplying. So you really need to be confident in your own system. Don't rely on your monitor, make sure your colour settings match what they suggest. And check your histograms to ensure you have good tonal balance in your image. My images came out exactly how i expected them to in terms of colour and tone, but i did check every photo's tonal range. Yes it's a shame about the mac software and their current software for windows sucks, however there are other companies out there who do mac software for their systems. I advise requesting a pack from their site.... they even provide a cd to burn your images on! Good luck in your choice.

I'm slightly disappointed they don't produce mac compatible software (well last time I checked). I have a quick question for you - did you have any problems colour proofing to get your shots in synch colourwise to their printers.
