My edited photos I had printed are caming out to blue. Pinks are more purple, on the flower photos. Even calibrated. Should i try another printing service or what would you recommend?

Well who are you using at the moment? Your monitor is calibrated? then you sould possibly try and unedited image with your printer, preferably a standard test image. Or maybe start by viewing a standard test image on your monitor, and seeing if it is too yellow.

Plenty of test images at: http://www.northlight-images.co.uk/article_pages/test_images.html

Have you used them more than once? Are you doing any editing that would change the overall color? Have you softproofed your images: many colors in flora are out of gamut and can't be reproduced in print.

Well they have a "100% guarrantee, or your money back", I would contact them.

If you have a color managed program, such as Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, or Lightroom, then you could ask them if they can give you an ICC profile so you can soft proof the images to see if any colors are out of gamut (aren't reproducible).

Does a standard test image look correct on your monitor?
