This is a popular misconception with colour management. It is not to

to be spot on, otherwise you will just be disapointed.

Thats what I always hear people who aren't getting a tight screen to print match say; but with care selection of displays, appropriate ambient lighting, good proofing lighting, well  mannered inks and media, and some careful tweaking of printer profile preview functions, dead-on is certainly possible, at least at certain phases of the moon...
