Digital BW, The Print

>>On Windows XP and using CS3, I print toned monochromes on an Epson
2400. Both monitor and printer/paper combination are calibrated. I use
an LCD monitor, and the printer output when viewed under a bright
white bulb corresponds well to the appearance on the monitor. However
in lower viewing light levels as, say, a camera club venue, shadow
details are more difficult to discern. This more of a problem with
images that are printed more darkly, which, in my case, is quite a
high proportion.
I have tried applying a brightening levels adjustment, but, having
worked hard to produce subtle shadow detail, I feel this is a very
blunt tool for solving my problem.
Have others experienced this problem? If so, how have you approached
the problem?

There are two tools typically used by PrintFIX PRO owners for this 
issue. One is the Viewing Light Level slider, which adjusts the print 
density globally. The other is the Shadow Detail slider, which targets 
just the shadow details. Nothing in either that can't be accomplished, 
this just builds profile versions for making your selected adjustment 
to any print.
