Flexkill, I have a ViewSonic PF790, it came with a disk that had some color correction software on it. It also had this plastic card that you stick on the monitor while running the software.

I just ran the software, adjusted the monitor as required and it’s been running that way for the last year and a half, haven’t touched it since.

I'd give it a try if that stuff came with your monitor.

RH's advice is easier and cheaper than my suggestion. I just read about the Pantone Color Plus. You just stick to the screen run the program and make adjustments. Now as long as your printer is calibrated properly you're set.
Here's a link on this product (~$100US).
