Ok cool.  That may be the step I was messing up.

Speaking of messing up, can we use adult language here?  Censoring myself really harshes my mellow.

So after calibration I should lower the brightness to match the prints?

I did evaluate the light in the room and it is adequate, with no glare on the screen.  I calibrated in the dark.  I am stymied.

I've gone through the instructions repeatedly and I'm flubbing something up.

I cannot get the current brightness in range of the target.  If I up the monitor to 100%, it will only move to 60 in the brightness step of the calibration.  When the calibration is finished, the screen is way brighter than my prints.  I need to lower it to the 30-40% range in order for the brightness to be similar to the prints.  

I'm certain I'm missing something incredibly simple.  Please talk to me like I'm a kindergartener.  Thanks!
