Don't think you would need to go thru all the hoops you have to try to get the color accurate and you know color and the perception of such is subjective. 
Ya get what ya pay for...almost sound like a problem with the printer...but I would not suspect that if with the ink you were using before was giving you good results....maybe needs a good cleaning. |
I cleaned all the nozzles. It is the ink. It wouldn't have been so bad, except the printer drivers have no facility for color adjustment (there's one for Brightness, another for Contrast, and that's the end) like some do, so I'm forced to go for the vain hope of using Photoshop to at least predict where my colors will go. |
I'm afraid I can't offer much insight on the Photoshop issue, but as someone who worked in the printer ink industry for a little while I am curious to know the details of the ink you are using. Are you just buying generic cartridges? If so, whose (e.g. Staples)? Are you having them refilled? Are you refilling them yourself?
EDIT: And of course, what make and model printer are you using?
