Digital BW, The Print

Jerry,

If your monitor is properly calibrated and you are using a gray gamma 
2.2 working space then you should have a fairly good match to the print 
when using the matching printing and softproof profiles.  Don't know 
what you mean by "soft proof shows up checked on printer page".  You 
shouldn't be trying to use the softproof profiles for printing.  In the 
Print with Preview dialog your Document source space button should be 
checked and showing Gray Gamma 2.2 and the Proof Setup button should be 
unchecked and showing the name of the softproof profile.  Print Space 
should be Same as Source.  If your softproof looks "dark and contrasty" 
then check the Proof Setup to make sure that the Preserve Color Numbers 
box and Use Black Point Compensation box are both checked.
