Well, for the prints there is a shadow detail slider that you can use to open 
up the shadows, just reselect your target file, and rebuild with a slider 
adjustment. Your "shadow detail on screen" issue sounds like its a 
settings/target issue. You don't mention what OS, what type of display, or what 
settings/target values you are calibrating to, so its difficult to offer any specific 
assistance.
