How do you get corect color with the Canon iP6600D?

[Steve Ruddy]

Until I get a printer I will be using my inlaws iP6600D printer. I have a Rebel XSi and shoot in RAW format. I use CS3 for post processing. I have a Samsung SyncMaster 1100MB CRT monitor calibrated with Monaco Optics. My prints don't match. They are to cool. Is there anythi8ng I can do. If not I hope when I purchase the 9500 Pro I will be able to color match.

Bump - Steve's question seems to have slipped through the net.

I don't know much about printing, but the first questions is: Are you using the correct ICC profile for the printer/paper combination you're using?

Have a read in the link from my sig about using ICC profiles when printing, and softproofing.

Give some more info on your workflow.
