I thought the whole idea of this product was to match the actual 
print to what you have on the monitor,I fail to see what a proofing 
light has to do with the end result, I was getting a more closer 
print from photoshop gamma than this product,am thinking of reverting 
back to photoshop and reselling the product as it does not do what it 
is supposed to do.I am not impressed at all
