Question regarding colour accuracy.

Hey guys/gals, this would probably sound strange to most of you, and probably seem like an easy answer to give, But i printed some pictures yesterday and the colours dont match my monitors colours, I.E, on computer, the greens were much brighter, yet on the printed picture they were much like a normal green (if theres such a thing)

The question is, could i now use the printed picture to calibrate the colours on my monitor to match the print? or would that not work and be wrong?

Just buy a monitor calibrator, they're not expensive

Just try and get it to match the print out as much as possible.
No guarantee that you'd get the perfect result, but you can definitely try

This is probably your best option, but you'll have to wait till you have money in your pocket
