(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
