I travel around the country and use Photoshop for various projects. I then SAVE AS a TIFF file to my flash drive and take the flash drive to an office superstore (OfficeMax, Staples, Kinkos,etc.) to print on their color printers. I run into a variety of printers, but mostly Xerox DocuColor 250's or Docucolor 12's.
How can I set my Photoshop so that the colors that print on these Docucolor printers are closer to what I see on my screen? I'm already creating the documents in 300DPI, CYMK-8 mode to be as close to the printer as possible.
What other suggestions do you have that would make my printing results on these machines better?

I suppose the short answer is you probably cant get exactly what you see on screen, the longer answer is to calibrate your monitor properly, check the colour space your using suits the printer, and stick to one printer in one store.
Every time you change anything it really needs to be reset again to match, using different printers brings the problem that they are probably all slightly different, if you stick to one you can work out what works with it. Wayne
