But still the paper being printed on, we can't just use any photo paper. No matter what kind of % setting which we can set in Photoshop, once printed using varying ink and photopaper, the whole effect would be off already.

But if I am not wrong, a Kodak grey card doesn't cost that much either. I think it was in the region of RM38.

i agree, don't expect wat u see on the monitor is wat you will get on the paper. It hardly turn out to be the same. Something around 90% near is the best the printer can do. You'll spend more time tweaking it.

And printed on an A4 and an A1 sometimes look different mainly due to the larger % of reflection/absorb on larger paper and the type of paper used.
