Proof setup in CS2?

[jukka1]

Hi all.

I have Epson r2400. When I have made adjustments in PS, should I use Proof

setup for best results to match print with screen? And in Proof setup, should I

use simulate paper color or black ink?

 

Is proof setup necessary. I mean, when I print I let photoshop manage colours

and I choose right profile. Shouldn't profile do necessary changes to match

print to screen.

 

My lcd screen has been calibrated with Spyder 2 Pro to 0.35 and 92 values. When

I dont use Proof setup my prints are too dark and when I use proof setup (I

make final adjustments in simulating paper) results are better but print is

little bit too bright?

 

Any suggestions? White and black point values or what?

 

Sincerely, Jukka
