Ah-ha, therein lies the diff: I don't do commercial
chemical prints from colour negatives.

I use mostly slide film, or b&w, which I scan
at home and then either print in my HP Photosmart
or take in a USB key, adobe-rgb balanced, to the local
mall print shop - they know already which colour space
I use - and it comes out near perfect to me.


Yes, colour negative could be inconsistent.
Nowadays most development shops
end up scanning the lot anyway and then
doing the rest digitally.  In those conditions,
it's a lot easier to get things fine: Frontiers
are darn good boxes for that.
