I just got an order back from Adorama with a bunch of prints on their Kodak Metallic paper. The 11x17s look amazing! I think I should've stuck with lustre on the 5x7s, but the big ones are just stunning. I highly recommend this paper for landscapes. However, it tends to print dark by a stop or so. Also, this is the first time I've ordered prints from Adorama, and am very impressed. The site is intuitive, and the shipping was extremely quick. :)

That would be interesting though if they use the same process & paper in reality there should not be much visible difference;)...does Adorama do color correction..?

You can choose yes or no for color correction from Adorama. I chose yes, since I don't have the profile for their printers. The colors on my prints looked 100% accurate, still very rich and crisp.


Livinthalife: I tried taking a photo of one of the big (11x17) prints but it just doesn't do it justice.
