JKS, I found that a hardare calibration system works wonders--even on cheap monitors. But it sounds like you may need both monitor and print calibration system. Color Monkey is highly rated, but I have never personally used the system. As I understand it, Adobe Gamma is simply a software calibrator and is based simply on what you see and adjust. A hardware system will read your monitor, read prints and develop profile that approximates wysiwyg.


For me personally, I had problems with my prints being off in color, contrast and darkness/brightness. And a relatively inexpensive monitor calibrator made a world of difference--not perfect, but much much better--and I have a cheap TN monitor. The monitor calibrator I use is a Spyder 3 Pro---but there are several others that are rated better than mine.


just my 2cw, good luck
