I agree with you but partially. Blind hero-worship is not going to get FOSS anywhere. BUT, I think you're mistaken. You run a printing press, thats cool but Dr.Nagarjuna's PhD student (forgot her name) gave an excellent presentation on LaTeX. It'll beat the crap out of any software.
print is about colour. what looks ok on screen may look horrible on paper - again rudimentary wont cut it. Incidently, one foss tool, blender, beats all its proprietory rivals. And, incidently, latex rocks, but there are very few phd students in the print world ;-)
There is a tool for calibrating the entire toolcahin - scanner, printer and monitor - -- http://www.argyllcms.com/index.html
