To keep the facts straight:
--Dell Imspiron Laptop running WIN 7, with all updates posted
--Screen profiled with Spyder3Pro 4.0.2 updated yesterday and calibrated yesterday
--I calibrate for white using the cradle for the Spectro and pressing firmly...press the button and hear the "click"
--Printed profiles for hahnemuhle papers via Epson drivers, no color control
----Hahnemuhle Fine Art Baryta
----Hahnemuhle Fine Art Pearl White

In each case so far, the profiles printed well, matching the target on the screen.

I use the patch check mode to scan the targets.  In each case, after using the Spectro, the scanned patches show dark on the computer monitor.  The blacks scan toward the dark gray side.

The Proof mode shows the soft proof not as vibrant as the as the other images in the test screen.  Kind of very slightly faded.

Out of curiousity, I printed images to the papers.  The color is fine, though in each situation, the images are darker than the screen.  Not a mess, but slightly darker.

A new question... when I print a black and white print, should I use the scanned and saved profile for the type of paper that I want to print on, or as I have always done in the past, select gamma 2.2 (which gave me wonderful blacks and gray scale)

Thank you
