Erm... you can't. The only way to get colour precise is by using spot colours which isn't any good for you as magazines are printed in CMYK. Most magazines are printed off-site, if it's a newspaper and they print on site, you could ask for a proof that is press printed on the newspaper they use. However, whether they will do it or not depends on who you are. In my previous job, we only do it for the customers that runs huge advertising campaigns with us. I guess you just have to get it as close to possible on your own printer and hope for the best.

This is still for magazine printing, right? Forget it, it'll just end up in the bin if it's for colour purposes. Supplying a hard copy is useful when they are only printing your design on ONLY THAT RUN where they can run print trials.
