(1) Try to find an inkjet paper with a media white as close as possible to ISO 12647-2 glossy offset aim value. Then you will not run into the problem that the inkjet paper is so blue it glows in the dark and visually offers no match to the printing paper (which is likely / hopefully around L96 and with a neutral tint).

(2) Follow the ECI guidelines and create an 'idealized proof' meaning a studio presentation print, whether using Relative Colorimetric with Black Point Compensation or Perceptual rendering. Be sure to make the printing company aware that you are sending a presentation print and not a proof print.

(3) Don't use a small RGB color space for image editing and image archiving. People have started experimenting with extended gamut 4C inks. For instance, BASF recommends only ECI_RGB for its high gamut 4C product as Adobe RGB will clip a chunk of the yellows.

Hope this helps.

Henrik
