Digital BW, The Print

I think the only difference we have is that when I calibrated my monitor I
used D65 as my whitepoint.  I have an Apple Cinema HD Display 23².

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.
