I did not see the original email, but i can throw in two cents. I reduced the lighting in my studio and therefore was able to reduce the brightness of my monitor. I then had to increase the brightness of whatever image I was working on -- so then the print matched the screen display.
Do a test at a low "native" monitor brightness level. Display the image and raise the image brightness to how you want it -- and then print it. If it's too dark, do another test with a lower monitor brightness and raise the brightness of the image to your preference again --and print it again. Keep testing until your print matches the image on the screen. It won't be exactly the same because of the difference between transmitted and reflected light, so you'll have to make a decision of what you expect.
Hope this helps.

I have used Adobe Gamma to calibrate my monitor. Then I followed this up
by using window's visual program to fine tune it.(Adobe Gamma does up to 32
bits which I guess is what my monitor is although my OS is 64 bits).
I have started doing more printing. I have added a brightening
layer at + 16 in Photoshop to do the printing. I also run into images
where I have to go back in to Photoshop and use the shadow-high light
adjustment to unblock the shadows. The latest thing I have done is to
add an exposure adjustment layer but not change the exposure but change the
gamma to make the prints look correct. I wonder if there is a calibration
method that would be better than what I got or it is just because LED monitors
have too much dynamic range that I will have to continue with adjustments when
I print?

We got it the first time. Can’t help with advice, however, since I take my printing to professionals.
