    for the monitor: get a calibrator like gretag macbeth's eyeone http://www.gretagmacbeth.com/i1c…

    build an icc profile with it, it will put in the proper place.

    Your imagery should be in Adobe 98 colorspace.

    for the printer: in PS choose print with preview, using color management set colorhandling to let PS determine color, and choose proper paper icc profile (they often come with printer installation)

    example:

    Then hit print:
    Options:
    Make sure you leave colormanagment off in the print dialogue.

    Set paper type, print quality, etc.

    A little difficult to comprehend all this, but after a while it gets easy and if you have everything set right, you'll get exactly what you see to print out right. (if printer can handle it.

    Hope this helps.
