Tyler,
I too use the 20% dot gain adjustment in StudioPrint (it's the default). Printing a stepwedge 
I can distinguish paper white from 2% ink and between 98% and 100% K. I have set up a PS 
grayscale working space of gamma 2.0. I find this gets me a good screen to print match. 
Of course you could go the other way and adjust dot gain in StudioPrint to match your PS 
gamma, but I was happy with the print contrast at 20% and so decided to bring the 
monitor in line.
