Color saturation problems with Costco Printing

[OviV]

I am using the printer profile from Drycreek. The problem I have is that red color saturation is way lower then I want. Here is a sample image. The top one is in Adobe RGB and looks the way I want it to look. The bottom image is in the printer profile for my Costco. There is nothing that I can do to that image to make the red shirt look as red as the top image. When I print the image using their printer profile it matches the picture but I just can't get the color and saturation that I want. Is it that this (Noritsu 3101) printer is incapable of producing these colors, or I'm I doing something wrong.

BTW, The actual image is less saturated then this. This is a screen capture and some of the saturation has been put back by the process.

Help please,

Did you ever get your problems with Costco and their saturation resolved. I too am getting undersaturated prints from my Costco. I recently sent the same sRGB file to Miller's Lab and Costco. Millers Lab had much more snap than my Costco print. Other than that the prints looked very similar. Its just that darn red saturation stopping me from saving a whole lot of money on my lab bill. If you found a solution, I would love to hear it. Thanks

I have also notice the same problem. I am using profile from Drycreek too. I put up with it because there prices are so cheap.

What do you get if you don't use the DryCreed profile? Have you tried it? I know the profile should work better, but there prices are super. Worth a try?
