I have tried a number of monitor correction devices and although they create a pleasing look they rarely help me match what is coming off the presses, I mean really, what's the most important thing, having it look pleasing on screen or having it look realistic.

We have a calibrated Epson plotter for proofs. I take Adobe's stock color image "Olé no Moiré" and print her out on the Epson. I then open her up in Photoshop and let her sit in the background as I run through an advanced monitor calibration using system preferences. Using my eye I can get the image on my monitor to come real close to matching the proof, which matches the press. Great results, no extra money!
