Recently, I had a Fotojournal printed at the Fotohub OUB Branch. When I received the journal, it looked all right, except that some of the pictures looked a bit too pink. When asked, the staff told me that they made adjustments to the prints visually before printing because their printer prints too dark. Since the screen is calibrated to their monitor, they would be able to make the prints look nice.
As I did not like the excessive pink, I told them to transfer the files to the Suntec Branch for printing, and not to make any adjustments. However, when I viewed the prints at the Suntec Branch, they were indeed under exposed. Well, I think it was better than having a pink cast, so I took the journal, but I am not too happy with the results.
Does anyone have such problems before? Perhaps it would be best to leave it to them to do the adjustments? But what if the colour balance becomes off like in my case? Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
