Yet another "prints-darker-than-screen" but with a twist...!

While I agree with the concept her I am not at all sure about the method. It's true that the "brightness" of the paper should match the brightness of the screen, but the brightness of the paper should be checked under viewing conditions, not under editing conditions. If your editing environment is at the recommended level of about 50 lux the paper will never look as bright as the monitor. To achieve equal brightness the print needs to be viewed with an illuminance of about 500 lux - the kind of level you find in a supermarket.

Better to use a more objective method to compare the monitor to the paper. You can do it with your camera using the method described here. It also gives you a pretty good idea of the luminance of your monitor in cd/m2
