There isn't one key to mastering printing. There's a whole ring of keys neceessary to do the job right. But one of these keys is the paper profile. More specifically, it's the paper profile matched to the printer being used. And this is a big key for consistently satisfactory prints.
John Paul Caponigro recently posted a short introduction to this topic on his blog. Link to it here. And you'll find more links to follow if you want to plunge deeper into the subject.
