I've had film other than Impressa come back from them printed this
way. Reprinted by a pro house looked much better. One of them is some
Portra NC shot outdoors. I'd be willing to bet Qualex doesn't have a
"channel" for Impressa on their machines. Since they're wholely owned by
Kodak, they're not likely to ever have a channel for it. (Last line is a
guess.)
There are different contrast grades of color paper depending on exactly
what they use for that too. Might also have an effect. I wonder at times
if they print low contrast because of the frequent exposure errors "Joe
Consumer" makes and low contrast printing helps cover it up (under exposure
from lack of enough flash comes to mind).
