I haven't tried the standouts yet, but GTA does have a group on Facebook that is fairly active. I'm sure you could get some feedback there about the product itself. Not sure if anyone there can speak to their experience with sharpening them, though (one of the GTA reps in there recently said something to the effect of not believing in sharpening )

I thought you might say that this is from the only Canadian lab with a good range of products, as far as I can find. The US dollar and shipping would be awful!

They don't. I've asked for one before, and they said this: "We don’t supply soft proofing profiles we simply suggest a calibrated monitor using base colour space profiles thru your workflow of sRGB or Adobe 1998 from camera to lab"

I have a ColorMunki Display and I am calibrating my 27" iMac. Overall, my screen matches my prints really well, both in brightness and colour. The only colour that doesn't look quite right is yellow. I have a set of five test prints and I notice in the grass on one of them, and I also have a bullseye target print that my lab sent me to use and I definitely notice it there. The yellows on the print look very deep and rich, slightly darker and warmer than my screen. My screen makes them look much lighter and brighter, like a lemon yellow. Am I just being picky?
