Digital BW, The Print

I gather by the question you asked at the end of your letter that you're
using the Colorvision Spyder with their profiling software to calibrate your
monitor and printer.  I have been using this system for the last year or so,
and am relatively happy with it.  I have been able to generate profiles for
my system that let me get prints that are very close to what I see on the
calibrated monitor, in this case a LaCie 22".  But I've found that you have
to be very careful in following their instructions for printing and scanning
to the letter.  It is also important to let any printed charts that you
generate dry long enough so that your scans of them will reflect their final
color.  I found George at Colorvision to be responsive and helpful when I
had problems trying to arrive at good results.

Don't give up on this until you're sure that you're doing everything
correctly!
