As for matching a press, you can't match the display to an output device without first profiling it and having a profile for the output device (how the heck is something like Photoshop supposed to read your mind and know what output device you're working with?). So its a two prong approach to soft proofing. But the fundamental process starts with regular calibration and profiling.

What I like about EyeOne is the software allows both a native white point and gamma. In order for multiple displays to match, you'll have to find the one that produces the least luminance possible and lower all others to match it. Unlike Spinal Tap, there's no 11 on the scale!
