I find that my prints are consistently darker than my screen. I use a

What white luminance is your display offering once profiled? LCDs that 
are not specifically lowered to a luminance appropriate the the 
ambient lighting will almost always produce this "prints are darker 
than screen" result. I could describe how to fix this with Spyder 
products, but you'll have to find another sources of info on how to do 
this with X-Rite products... <G>
