Even though it’s not perfectly accurate, I have used the same Windows 7 default screen calibrator to match (as best I can) the prints I get from my printer. Frankly, I just follow these steps:
1. Edit a picture on my laptop until it looks good on the un-calibrated screen.
2. Send it to the printer.
3. Compare the print with my screen. Of course, they are going to look quite different, so . . .
4. I then use the screen calibrator program to make my screen match the print as best I can. Of course, the picture on the screen is probably not going to look very good. But that’s not the point. The point is, the print and screen now match!
5. Now I re-edit my picture until it looks good on the now calibrated screen.
6. Send it to the printer again. The re-edited print should look much better.
7. Make sure to save (screenshot works for me) the settings you used on the screen calibrator program. You may need to re-calibrate for each printer you use. Also, I’ve had the screen reset to default on a whim.
