I'd like to have a color scheme for printing plots, that would look 'nice'. So, I need as set of, say, 10 easily distinguishable colors that would stay different when printed.

If I use only four CMYK colors they are easily distinguished. If I print ten, like blue, light blue, green, lime..., they may turn out very similar.

What tool (something like Adobe Kuler) can I use?

There is a scheme used by printers called "CMYK" test.
They look like this www.iso12647solution.com/Colorsource_free_CMYK_SRA3_test_forms.htm

I have found a suitable tool: colorbrewer2.org Initially designed for maps, it has print-friendly option.
