Don't know about Shel but when I sent images for printing at my local Agfa DLab2, first I convert them to the DLab2-Sensatis profile (available on the Agfa site) to bring the colours in the printer's gamut, then apply a slight green and blue gamma corrections to compensate for the lab's own setup. It works quite well. Of course a matching lab's profile would have been ideal but when I tried to talk them into profiling their process I was taken for a SGR1806 alien. :oT Servus, Alin
