The very most important thing there is, if you plan on making prints. In 
general, there's no relationship between the colors you see on a screen and 
what come out on a print, unless you happen to be very lucky. Calibration 
means that what you see on the screen is what goes out to the printer, be it 
your own inkjet or at a lab.

That is a necessary oversimplication for discussion, of course, as there are 
many complexities to color management, but monitor calibration is the first, 
and in my opinion most important step.
