Re: [Gimp-user] Color mismatch when an image is printed

["Rick Strong" <rnstrong primus ca>]

I would start by buying a monitor colour calibration device like a SPYDER 
regardless of who is doing the printing, yourself at home or a print shop. 
Google SPYDER. It's simple to use, fast and accurate. There are others.

If you are sending files out to a print shop send CMYK images in North 
America. The preference in Europe I think is LAB. Check with your printer. 
Try the US Sheetfed/un-coated profile at home or anything that matches your 
paper and gets you close to your calibrated monitor image.
