Chris what you say is true, but after reading the Photo Shop book by Scott Ireland, it got me thinking, what is my monitor actually showing me, so I started to follow the instructions in his book.

It took some reading and lots of time, my settings on the monitor was miles out of whack, and the photo shop profiles were running on something I had never heard of.
I adjusted, every thing as described, and i have to say there is a hell of a difference.

My Printer died a couple of days prior to this book arriving, and so I bought a new one, It is of good quality and dedicated only to printing, not having all the add on's like scanner, copier etc.

It too was profiled with the monitor settings, and I have to say the image I printed today as a test is certainly very close to what I see on the monitor.

So I suppose at least some calibration is better than none.
