Steps are 1 convert to grayscale 2 invert and 3 adjust contrast and brightness depending on the type of process you are using and that is it besides printing. Always use pigment ink always use the highest resolution your printer will allow, be sure to pick glossy photo paper in the printer settings and always make sure the correct print side is facing the proper direction before printing. That's all I can think of hop it helps.
