Hi oceans02,
Because monitors display pictures with RGB colorspace and printers use a CMYK colorspace, the two will always be a little different, and how precise you have to be will effect how complex it is to get the pritner to match waht you see on the screen. The simplest answer I can give would be to make sure that your monitor has been properly calibrated, make sure you are using professional Photo Editing software, and you are using an ICC profile that has either been calibrated specifically for your paper and printer with a calibration tool, or if you don't have access to a calibration tool, make sure you use a papr that has an ICC profile that you can download for the Pr9000 Mark II.

You have to be in the printing business to justify a Color Munki. I do some printing to sell but most clients today want DVD's. So like I advised, stay with Canon brand products for your Canon printer and it will print fine.

No matter what anybody tells you, it may be impossible to get all the colors to match. Try for great skin tones as that is what most people look at. Second your brightness and contrast needs to be the same on both monitor and printer. The colors may be acceptable when they are correct.

Not only is it a good idea to use Canon brand inks, actually mandatory, but I use Canon brand papers almost exclusively. They make things more easy and they are top notch.
