As someone else said download a reference image and evaluate this.
I actually built the pixl testimage (www.pixl.dk > downloads) when an
otherwise popular monitor calibration company launched an "improved"
puck after forming a strategic alliance with someone else.
Shortly after this my remote printer profiles (which I don't build any
more) frequently were rejected by customers as not matching the print.
After building something that can be used as a common reference, and
on which it is easy to figure out whether it is displayed correctly or
not, it's pretty easy to evaluate - within reason - whether the
monitor / calibrator puck / calibration software / printer profile /
color conversion is good - or not.
The Pixl Testimage 2009 version is annotated for each part of the
image, so open the image in Photoshop and open the notes window for a
walkthrough of all the elements.
Hope this helps.

Hi group. Recenlty bought a 7900 and after profiling the printer and
monitor (x-rite) I'm getting prints that are consistantly too dark
by about 1/2 stop. Using Eizo monitor and Color Navigator. Anyone
have any thoughts on this? It's a pretty fair size investment in
printer, xrite and Eizo not to be much tighter. I'm not a prepress
person or someone with a techy background so please keep responses
easy to understand. Thanks for any help offered.
