According to Eric Chan the brightness of the monitor needs to be lower so the printout will be closer to what you are soft proofing on the screen. I used those steps with my Epson 3800 and my printouts are very close to what they appear on the LCD panel that I run on (Dell 24")

Mind you I also run my computer in a darker room then most people. If your calibrator has a ambient calibration that also helps. Room brightness has an effect as well.
