Printer profiles - what exactly are they and where do I get one?

you will be suprised

Looks like I'll be following JSR's advice (for once!) and investing in a Colormunki!

I don't think you'll regret it. Before the ColorMunki, such devices would cost in excess of £800 (some over £1000). Maybe those expensive alternatives may be better, they may not be, but the ColorMunki puts you in control of your colours at an affordable price. All I can say is that being in control of the colours makes dye-subbing a whole lot less stressful than it was before I first used it. It's the most useful £300 I've spent in a long time.
