Before you edit your photos that you want to print, you should definitely calibrate your monitor! Without calibration, your printing results will most likely be a hit and miss game.

The final part is the actual print workflow by setting your printer up and loading the correct ICC profile into your printing program. One of the huge advantages of using high-grade paper from Hahnemuehle is, that they supply you with the correct ICC profiles and a PDF with paper handling and printer setting suggestions. You can download all this on their website. And this is the key to getting a very high grade of consistency in your printing workflow.
