For monitor profiling it's hard to beat the Eye One Display. Very reasonably
priced and produces excellent profiles. Printer profiling is generally very
expensive as it requires a photospectrometer. Most decent printer profiling
packages are in the $1K+ range so it's usually cheaper to pay someone else to
make the profile for you. I've use Kathy's Profiles to create some profiles
for my printer and they've been very good. About $40 per profile, you can
find all the details here http://www.cathysprofiles.com.
