An excellent point, and one not often given enough attention.

I've recently made some moves in that direction, including the installation of 500OK wide-spectrum CFLs in my working area, with a greater luminous output than the prior lamps, and setting the white luminance of my display to very nearly that recommended in connection with the sRGB standard.

I now find that there is good visual consistency between the on-screen presentation of an image and the corresponding print, examined in that environment.

Best regards,

Doug
