Not sure. This is second hand info, confirmed by one other person. May only be at certain locations.

To become truly immortal, a work of art must escape all human limits: logic and common sense will only interfere. But once these barriers are broken, it will enter the realms of childhood visions and dreams.

if you are having issues with prints, it could be either the printer, or the monitor, or both.
If the histogram for your photo checks out ok and the prints are dark, then it may be a printer issue. Make sure that ICS is enabled when you print.
Prints are generally darker than the screen, since the screen generates light. Paper reflects it.
Use ICS in the printer, then try brightening photos prior to printing.
You can improve the brightness of you monitor easily... ( http://www.normankoren.com/makingfinepr ... QuickGamma )
calibration will require a device
I [amazon=B0037255LC]recommend this[/amazon] or the pro version. Since i started using calibrated setups, I have greatly improved my color workflow.
