There are three possible problems:
  1. The calibration or configuration of one or more system components (hardware, software, or viewing environment) is not set optimally.
  2. The calibration is optimal, but the system is not as good as other systems.
  3. The calibration is optimal, and the system is the best that money can buy, but no system is capable of achieving the desired results.



All three are very common. The solutions are:
  1. Fix the calibration.
  2. Upgrade to a better system.
  3. Lower expectations.



For example, if your monitor white point was set to 4500K and 600 cd/m^2 but your viewing environment is 6504K 120 cd/m^2, then your problem is #1 and you need to fix your monitor calibration/settings.


If your monitor is correctly set and calibrated but the cheap-o $400 TN display panel is not capable of showing the full sRGB gamut, no amount of calibration is going to fix it. You'll need one that is capable of showing a closer approximation, like a $1000 IPS variety.


If your settings are correct and your equipment is as good as it gets, then it's still possible not to get a match simply because the mediums are so different. Some combinations of inks and paper can not be approximated by any display yet invented. Displays are capable of contrast and black levels that no ink/paper in the world can currently match.


Hope that helps.
