Default Noobie Needs Help on Monitor Calibration

Howdy,

I own a 24" iMac (the one that's all white) and Photoshop CS2. I do a lot of digital photography/graphic design on it and I want to start printing my photography. I've printed a few things through some large printers and the colors are way off. What do I need to make sure what I'm printing on my screen transfers to print? Do I need a monitor calibration program? What color settings should my Mac be on?


Any advice/guidance would be greatly appreciated!


Thanks!
Tim
