Hi Terry,
I’m not a total expert on the matter but I do think you can get calibration tools to do this, but obviously these cost.
What we did is to print the colour palette page in corel draw onto vinyl, as big as we could. Then pin this to the wall, you then have a full breakdown of every colour combination in CMYK which is real. We then just match to this, amend the colour in corel draw and print.
Like I say there is probably a pro tool to match the colours on screen with the output on the printer but our DIY fix has saved the day a few times.

You will need a decent Spectrophotometer to measure the screen and a monitor with a wide gamut like LaCie or an Eizo

However it is Corel, so we have a load of Mac monitors plugged into PC’s, work well with Corel but you never get it perfect as the printer can only print a handful of colours that the screen can display, screen is black and paper is white for starters and uses two different methods to produce colour with lighting.
I think Corel Pallete looks great printed, but then you have Pantone which helps print colour, just print the colour which matches up in a solid to process book, you see a similar result (depending on rip)

so what you are both saying is to just print the pallet and use that
