But why not? Why work "in the dark?" The PiezoBW documentation explains
how to create a "Custom Dot Gain" curve to make the monitor image match
the print -- and, as the PiezoBW documentation states, you don't even
need a (hardware) calibrated monitor for this.

My PiezoBW setup on the 1290, with the Custom Dot Gain set in Photoshop
Color Settings gave an excellent correspondence between the monitor
image and the print. Just have a look at the PiezoBW manual. This is
very easy to set up.
