You are referring to 'color matching' as between scanner -> monitor -> printer, and the short answer is no, AFAICF. The best I can come up with is buying a color matching graph from a photo supply store, then scanning the image and adjusting the monitor to match. Then adjusting the gamma of your printing app that the printed document matches the purchased graph.
Now, "Do Not Change Anything" as it is difficult to regain. The downside is that all will change with lighting conditions, voltage variations, equipment age, changing ink cartridges, paper grade, perception, etc.
If you find a better/easier/cheaper solution, please advise.
NADA! 'Already been there, and it's not worth the effort, IMHO. I guess I've either got to live with the frustrations and added costs of producing display prints, or (choke, gage, puke) use MickySoft. I HATE the thought of that.
