This is a popular misconception with colour management. It is not to
give you WYSYWIG. It is to manage your colour. With a monitor and a
printer WYSYWIG is an impossibility. This is not to say that you can
not get a better interpretation on your monitor, but don't expect it
to be spot on, otherwise you will just be disapointed.
