Chuck... we have **got** to stop meeting like this! ;-)
The way to test, is to set up a bit of a tricky photo so it looks good on your
monitor. Send/take it to a lab that uses a Fuji Frontier printer.... they are
normal set up to RGB standards... unlike many of the newer "dry" Noritsu's,
which are often set up way out of the RGB colour space, to give "snappier"
prints to the P&S crowd.
Do NOT trust an print from a home printer, for this. You want a printer that's
been set to the correct standards. Believe it or not, in my area, Costco is
the photo lab of choice, for this! An 8x10 is a couple of bucks, and it's a
quick & easy test. I email 'em in, and they're ready by noon the next day.
Allow for the fact that a print does not have the same dynamic range as a
screen, but if an 8x10 looks very close the the image on your monitor, you're
likely OK. If not... probably time to consider returning it.
Hope this helps.
David.
