Digital BW, The Print

I received several replies to the question as to what many of you 
are using your monitor set to---GG 1.8 or GG 2.2; and I may need to 
clarify my question as first asked. What do many of you have your 
monitor gamma set to?

I understand all the replies that referred to the color management 
issues and effect of Gamma on display characteristics. I don't have 
a problem with Gamma myself, I was just asking what many of you have 
your monitor set to. I realize the glossy paper has a higher D-max 
and is therefore going to print the lower tones darker than Matte 
paper is ,and I make adjustments to the proof to get the 
satisfactory resulting print on glossy. If the shadows are to low, I 
raise them to gain printable details relative to the visualized 
image.Proofing is simply previewing how the finished print should 
look. My criteria is enough body in the shadows to support the 
impression there is something visible there.
