Regardless of the fact that I have the display calibrated as per the hardware/software tools, the printed copy always needs a lift in brightness and contrast before I print.

I always had this same issue when I used to get my images printed at the chemists locally. Then when both printers died the entire system, computer, software and Kodak kiosk with 2 printers was given to me. Then I was handed several boxes of new paper and ribbons. My son and I stripped both printers, found and rectified the faults and I print most of my stuff in 12x8.
Eventually going through the Kodak software on the computer my son found there was a setting which automatically adjusted images. It was quickly disabled and now what I see is what I get brightness and contrast wise. It's a tricky situation because it's absolute black, small bursts of brightness and varying contrast we rely on for astronomy images, very different to an average outdoor image.
