I found a step wedge online a few months back at
http://www.northlight-images.co.uk/viewing.html that has 21 steps from
black to white and alternating boxes of dark grey and black. I'm not
at that Mac now, but I may also have set the gamma higer than 1.8. I
just made certain that I could see all the steps in the image. I was
pretty surprised when the images that came out of the printer were so
close to the screen. Maybe it's just dumb luck on my part. :)

I'm running a KDS 15" LCD monitor.

Once I get the MIS inks installed I'll try and tweak it if necessary.
I seem to remember trying to run SuperCAL a while back and didn't like
that it gave me. Of course, YMMV.
