Digital BW, The Print

Steve,

Don't know if this helps, but my monitor (iMac LCD) is calibrated with  
the eye-one to a target gamma of 2.2 and native white point.   My gray  
working space in Photoshop is G 2.2 and prints match  fairly well to my  
monitor, viewing prints under an Ott Lite.  As Roy suggested you could  
probably get an even better match by soft proofing.
