There’s a good quick article on monitor calibration and color managment by James Duncan Davidson at O’Reilly’s Inside Lightroom site - Monitor Calibration Cheat Sheet.

I’ve got to get better at this, but my results are hit and miss (as evidenced by the shitty prints I am frequently tossing or giving to my daughter to draw on). Partly this is because I like to experiment (with papers, inks, settings), but also because I tend not to have the time to follow through and keep my resolution to calibrate regularly. The Huey Pro I have tries to remind me, but I don’t keep it plugged in and thus tend to turn off it’s nagging warnings…
