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.
