You should try using adobe rgb as your workspace and output.

Secondly, you should get your systems professionally profiled.
From monitor to printer.

For photos dont use relative colormetric - use perceptual, or you will most likely loose a lot of detail in the midtones. Also, I second what Flame and Mark said above
