you could take the trouble to learn about color management, and look
at LProf : http://lprof.sourceforge.net/ (which is available in
portage) to generate and install color profiles for your devices.

Or do what I do - adjust the monitor settings (forget about X) to make
an image look like a printed copy of the image. That's my bottom line
- if it prints like it looks I'm happy.
