Hi,Windows base PC can do Color calibration such as "Colorsync" on MAC, Microsoft provides ICM(Image Color Matching ). If you use Photoshop4.0 or Painter 5.0 you can find another powrful Color matching system name ICC-Profile, it based on "colorsync" and "ICM", and it can support multi-platform such as MAC, UNIX, Window. Using it you can match the accurate color. According to your work-flow, the ICC-Profile will load the special Scanner Profile as Input Profile, it can convert device dependence color to logical color, When you display the image, ICC-Profile will load the special Monitor Profile as Outport Profile and convert the logical color to monitor dependence color, thus you can see the actual color. To print the Image ICC-Profile will load the special Printer Profile to match color. If your printer support PostScript Level 2 you can print your image with CMYK Data type directly. BTW all Input or Outport Profiles you should set by yourself to let ICC know what kind of Input and Output device you have use at the present. But each application wich support ICC-Profile has different interface to interact with user. You can use it refer to the application user guid.
I hope these will help to you.
