First you need to make sure that the customer understands that what they see on screen is no what they will get, ever. Second, stop trusting your eyes and start to rely on your numbers. Your info pallet is you best friend in this situation. Use your curves pallet in Photoshop to adjust the color values, and again, go by the numbers. If you are working in vector, the same general rules apply, use you color mixer to replace colors. Also, make sure that your output device is calibrated to no more than 2% off at all times. The quantity you are outputting, will determine the frequency of your calibration. Lastly, calibrate that monitor!

That should work fine for your images, just remember that your text and any other elements also need to be in CMYK format (or a Pantone colour set up to separate in process colours) for your file to print properly - this is especially important in offset printing where anything RGB will convert to a very washed out grayscale.

This.. sort of works, but it isn't the best idea for what you want to be doing for print.



You can't "convert" RGB into CMYK, since RGB isn't really a colour profile, you can turn it into some sort of colour slurry like people do when they open Photoshop, but you're not really achieving CMYK colours, your prints are going to look different if you do it this way.



If you're using GIMP anyways, just get this:

Scribus can import tiffs, which will cut out step 2 of your method, plus it will get you closer to the CMYK separations you want. Just keep in mind, unless you start something new in CMYK, you're not getting perfect CMYK. Like I said, it's more like a slurry of colour and you'll get something a little bit different no matter what unless you start with a perfect CMYK image and work from the ground up, or use pantone colours, which will be tough with freeware.
