After calibrating the monitor with the Spyder, prints from a known calibrated printer (the LightJet used by West Coast Imaging, which I believe was Calypso's LightJet) were much too dark and contrasty. My procedure now is to do a rough calibration using only Adobe Gamma, adjust the file in Photoshop the way I want it, then send the file to a lab with a calibrated printer. Once I get the print back I open the file in Photoshop, open Adobe Gamma at the same time, then adjust the monitor's calibration (with Adobe Gamma) to make the PS image of the file look like the print. Assuming the initial calibration isn't quite right, I can then tweak the photo the way I want it with Photoshop.
