Digital BW, The Print

Thanks for the reference.  I just recalibrated my monitors last night.  I'm
working on a dual G4 mac with a Lacie Electron Blue 22 and a 17" Apple
Studio Display LCD.  I found that switching to Gamma 2.2 during calibration
is giving me much closer screen to print match than Gamma 1.8 did.  I had
been having a lot of trouble getting the LCD tamed down for print
proofing...in fact I had been doing all of my proofing on the Lacie.  It now
appears that I will be able to work on the LCD. As I mentioned before I work
in Gamma 2.2 grayspace for editing...so it appears that the old Gamma 1.8
for monitor on macs is no longer an absolute.
