The problem is that when I see my proof colors in Photoshop CS2 i see one thing, and once that I print that file, the result look with a yellow cast. So I edited and obtain a more accurate print, but my monitor proof looks with a blue cast.
Do the whites on screen match the color and luminosity of your paper's white when viewed under whatever viewing light you have? This is what I call the litmus test for a well calibrated display. Displays calibrated to 6500K will have whites that look much cooler than prints viewed under 2650K tungston light for example. That is an all to common scenario. Calibrate your display so that you have matching whites but be advised that high-quality, high-CRI lighting (like that from Solux) is required for an excellent print to screen match.
Is this possible??? I mean, Is it possible that the environment illumination is affecting the readings of my patch with the X-Rite Pulse? and if it's possible, do you suggest me to take the readings in a dark room so I obtain an accurate profile? Unless you have direct sunlight hitting the target it is unlikely that the ambient light is affecting the measurements. Nonetheless, it shouldn't be a big deal to make sure you are taking your measurements in a lower ambient setting for good measure.
I would steer clear of any profile editing as it is always better to deal with the source of the problem (which is your case could be the way your displays are calibrated).
You didn't mention what software you are using, the intent your prints are made with and if you are proofing or making fine art prints. There could be some clues there but IÂ suspect not.
