Costco is my friend
See my reply post above. Make sure your costco uses the newer noritsu laser 3xxx series printer and interpolate to 320ppi and resize to the exact output with lanzcos interpolation (free from irfanview) and download the ICC printer profile from
http://www.drycreekphoto.com
convert to their colorspace before printing (set to intent saturation or perceptual). Adjust as required and apply USM. I set up an action for usm in ps cs layer/duplicate layer set to darken; layer/duplicate layer set to lighten and select filter/sharpen usm 500% amount/.4 pixels/0 threshold, select each layer alterately and adjust the opacity between 15-30% lighten and 30-50% darken (depending on the necessity for sharpening) then flatten the image and save as jpeg quality 12. Burn to cd and stand in the kiosk. You may select Tiff as a better option but costco restricts the file size so jpeg might be a safer alternative. Lastly, make sure to demand no color correction/no adjustments when you print. Good luck!

Do you stand at a Kiosk and insert media?
Did you have any calibration data before you took your file in?
How exactly did you process for Costco - TIF? JPEG? USM? etc

I just got back from costco with (3) 12 x 18 prints that are so
sharp and crisp that the photo guy working at the store (the guy
that sees a lot of pictures) had to comment on them. He said he
wished his 35mm film camera could do that. Price only $2.99 per
print. The were printed while I shopped and done before I left the
store.
In addition to that I bought another Sandisk 256MB CF card for $42.

Chris and Jordan are out of the office this week, so we're taking a trip in the wayback machine to feature a classic episode of DPRTV: a review of the EOS R, Canon's first full-frame mirrorless camera.
The new Panasonic Leica 9mm F1.7 sure is tiny and cute, but is it a good choice for Micro Four Thirds users? Our team at DPReview TV has the answers.
It says Olympus on the front, but the OM System OM-1 is about the future, not the past. It may still produce 20MP files, but a quad-pixel AF Stacked CMOS sensor, 50 fps shooting with full AF and genuine, IP rated, weather sealing show OM Digital Solutions' ambition. See what we thought.
Is the GH6 the best hybrid camera there is? Jordan has been shooting DPReview TV with the Panasonic GH6 for months, so he has plenty of experience to back up his strong opinions.
DJI's Mini series has always been a great entry-level option for beginners, hobbyists, or those willing to sacrifice features for size. But with its newest model, the Mini 3 Pro, DJI promises to bring pro features to its most compact model. Does it succeed?
What's the best camera for shooting landscapes? High resolution, weather-sealed bodies and wide dynamic range are all important. In this buying guide we've rounded-up several great cameras for shooting landscapes, and recommended the best.
If you're looking for the perfect drone for yourself, or to gift someone special, we've gone through all of the options and selected our favorites.
What’s the best camera for around $2000? These capable cameras should be solid and well-built, have both speed and focus for capturing fast action and offer professional-level image quality. In this buying guide we’ve rounded up all the current interchangeable lens cameras costing around $2000 and recommended the best.
Most modern cameras will shoot video to one degree or another, but these are the ones we’d look at if you plan to shoot some video alongside your photos. We’ve chosen cameras that can take great photos and make it easy to get great looking video, rather than being the ones you’d choose as a committed videographer.
Although a lot of people only upload images to Instagram from their smartphones, the app is much more than just a mobile photography platform. In this guide we've chosen a selection of cameras that make it easy to shoot compelling lifestyle images, ideal for sharing on social media.
