Lab Printing Way out?? - Please Advise

Hi Guys.

I am using a Dell IPS Monitor which is Calibrated with Spyder2Pro.

Image was processed and exported in Lightroom to a SRGB Jpeg.

I took the Image to the Lab to develop and its completely wrong.
Looks desaturated and a tint of yellow.

Really fed up. I have spent a fortune on Monitors, Calibration gear, ColorChecker etc to try to get it right, but its nowhere near.

the Lab does not supply a ICC Profile so I cant use Proofing.

Please Advise

Send the lab a standardized test image which will identify whether it's the lab or you who is doing something wrong. Instruct the lab to make no corrections.

Find another lab that DOES provide a profile for proofing.

Post one of your print-ready images on a hosting site so we can grab it and take a look at it.

I contact the lab I am going to use for their calibration software. Its basically a printed image and CD of the image so that you can make your output match theirs for better consistency.

Thanks Guys,

Heres a example image:

Can you link to a site where we can grab a full sized image, just as you sent to the lab?

Just openede file in Photoshop and its informed me that the Image profile is Adobe RGB 1998 not SRGB??

I know that the lab does not support Adobe RGB but would that make a huge difference?

Yep... I don't even use labs, but I've read countless times that unless the lab specifies differently, send the file in sRGB.

Just uploading Full Size image now.

Shot at ISO 1600 in Natural light so may look noisy in close
