Well, actually, the biggest reason what you see on the screen varies
so much from the printer is that the NeXT monitors or so damn HOT!  On
the average they are about 9800K!!  Pull out the color panel.  Display
pure red...it's orange!  Go for pure blue...you can't reproduce that
color with CMYK inks.  Go for cyan...it's aqua...bordering on
flourescent aqua.  You can't print that either.
