I'm always using a typical assumed_gamma 2.2 and display_gamma 2.2, both the same for
almost every image I render with few exceptions and they print fairly well as is on my
Epson Stylus Color. I sometimes brighten or darken them no more than a few percent in
post-processing (Paint Shop Pro or Picture Publisher). Meaning I seldom need much
change. The printer used is probably a major factor, but if I try to use assumed_gamma
1.0 I'd get very low contrast images regardless of the printer settings; I opt for the
default more often than not too.
Keep in mind I'm a home-based person here, only took a file in to be printed twice
before and so I am very low tech when it comes to my prints.
