from my experience it doesn't matter what printer you use. matching monitors to desk top ink jets is very difficult

they look a bit dark to me, and my gamma is 2.1. default windows gamma is much darker than a mac, you should check them out on an out-of-the-box PC that hasn't been calibrated

the images on your site look fine.
just because you can linearize your monitor with a spider doesn't mean your printer output is going to look the same.

yeah I know that, but like I said if I scan an image with the default settings it looks bad on screen, but if I print it out it mathes the original image pretty well....

I hate all this color management shit

All looks nice here.
Monitors and printers aren't the same even when callibrated you're comparing apples with oranges.
Do you run a RIP? Is the printer callibrated too?
anyway your work looks good

I guess I should spring for something that profiles my printer too. I am trying to print out pages for my book and I decided to try it on my HP deskjet. (no rip) The place I get my digital printing done is iffy with color, so I thought I could tweak things eaiser at home.

hehe...no really...I swear!

matching a monitor to a home inkjet is a royal pain in the ass

I guess as a photographer you run into this alot. What type of inkjet works best with photoshop and osx. In your opinion.
