getting a good match between monitor and print.

2008-11-20 by suvaloo

I am fairly new to digital printing.  Have an Epson 3800 with ABW mode and an Imac 
computer.   I am struggling to get a good match between the monitor and the print.  The 
image is much lighter on screen than what is printed.  I am trying to create a dot gain curve 
but am not sure if I am doing it correctly.  Can anyone tell me in detail how to create the 
curve and how to apply it properly.  Any other tips on how to get a good match?
