derek,

Your mileage may vary, but I find a luminance above 100 to be too bright to get a good monitor to print match "under normal print viewing conditions". I am not talking about viewing under a bright viewing light or light box conditions, but where the print is ultimately displayed.

I present my approach and logic in the Monitor and Print Profiling article on my website at the following link:

Of course, use whatever works and gives you a good match, but if you find your prints looking dark and muddy compared to your screen, consider lowering monitor luminance.
