NaturesRomance Offline Upload & Sell: Off

I have been using Costco because it is convenient. I have been for the most part satisfied with the color prints especially since I updated my monitor which has helped immensely. However, no matter what I did for my high contrast black and white images, they were always muted and lacked the range. I tried everything. I changed the tint to black and white before printing. I even used photoshop to convert them to grayscale prior to uploading. No matter what I did, always a similar result. In addition, they always possessed a cast of green or magenta. I believe this is due to the use of color paper.
So I decided to try MPIX. I printed a color print on metal. It was beautiful! I also printed a high contrast black and white on Ilford black and white paper. I was disappointed. Again, the darks were muted and the image did not hold the range.
With that said, a friend and I recently printed some of his photographs at Costco. He had one black and white but it was NOT a high contrast image. All the images came out nice.
I am not sure where to go from here with my high contrast shots.
