Please see the Color Management White Paper available here:
http://dl-c.com/content/view/34/55/. In particular the section on Monitor Curves near the end of the paper should help you.
When posting to the message board in the future, please use upper and lower case rather than all caps in keeping with all the other posts.

It is a common problem, even with color management to have blues come out either too purple or too cyan since light saturated blues are usually in the monitor gamut and outside the printer gamut. Reducing the saturation of the blues may help. Otherwise it may be necessary to tweak the blues using Transformation/Color Correct and some trial and error to get a pleasing result.
