What graphic program are you using to print your images?
Can you post an example of an image you are using then maybe we can help you better.

if its custom icc profile then its more to do with temperature of the white. you need to have your icc edited to different white point.

Are you just dragging and dropping images from the net. It depende what kind of images but have you converted the image to a bitmap and then traced it or you could try a bitmap mask. The other way I have done it is to draw around the image using the beizer tool, make this an object, and then use the powerclip feature.

Oh my, this is getting very complex.

Perhaps it is something a little simpler?

I tend to think it is an RGB vs CMYK issue
