I only mentioned my method as a way to achieving the desired 
results without having to spend a lot of money on calibration 
devices, profile etc. You can do my way for colour and black and 
white...you just load the monitor profile for the paper/ink 
combination you want. After that you just switch back to your 
regular monitor setting and surf the web all you want with correct 
color.
Just wanted to present an alternative to spending lot's of money 
AND it works. Unfortunately Knoll gamma was discontinued in 
Photoshop with version 4.0, but you might be able to find it on the 
web somewhere. As I metioned before, I have found that the 
profiles from Epson and others are close but never a perfect 
match (even on a properly calibrated monitor....with Knoll, I get a 
perfect match everytime. As they say...if it works, don't fix it!
