PDFs don’t render particularly well on my Kindle. Copying the font files to the device gives you more flexibility, too, since you can adjust size, line height, and render style (boldness) as needed.
If I had to choose a printer (or whatever else) for proofing.. I won't choose the best one. Instead I will choose the average one, or the most popular one among my typical clientele. If you choose the best one it will look great to you, but you wont know how it looks to your clients on their less than ideal equipment. Unless all your clients are top notch, of course.
In a ideal world, I will buy 3... a cheap one, and average one, an a top one. So wen you print, you can evaluate for compromises.

I briefly went this route on two printers after I upgraded from a brother 2460 (emulated postscript) to a phaser 6510 (adobe postscript). that brother model is one of the bestselling printers on amazon in the US, so it's probably a decent representation of what's out there in the wild. the problem is, there weren't many great compromises to make, it's almost like you'd have to have two fonts, especially since you're considering screens as well
