I have managed to locate the Printer profiles this way! Im in the process of copying them onto the desktop.

So, to be clear:
- You add a soft-proofing adjustment, specifying the ICC profile you downloaded from Red River.
- You liked the appearance, so you turned off the soft-proofing layer.
- You printed the image, specifying that same ICC profile.
- The image did not come out as you expected.
If I have that right, my next question would be whether you've profiled your monitor, and whether your room lighting is correct. Without an accurately profiled monitor, set to the proper brightness, with good room lighting, it's going to be hard to get the output image to match even with the proper printing profile.
If profiling isn't an option, though, you could try to get closer by turning down your monitor brightness. I can't provide any guesses about how much, though.Am I doing something wrong with the soft proofing? does the soft proofing just tell me what the print will look like on the paper its printed on after adjustments? if so its worse than I thought, I will send a screen shoot of what I looks like on my screen compared to the print. And yes I have calibrated my screen with a Spyder 5.

When you say that you "have assigned the right icc profile" where did you do that? And what do you mean by "it actually says it will be lighter"?
Hi Walt, I downloaded ICC profiles for canon P600 from a website called RedRiver paper. These have now shown up in my soft proofing adjustment. The Epson website only had premium Color profiles, so profiles for premium paper but not Matte. When I'm assigning the Matte soft proofing adjustment, the adjustment makes the image brighter. I turn this off when printing like is shown in Affinities youtube video, and when I print the print as no way light as on the screen. I also realise it is paper and doesn't have the brightness a screen has, but its just not right. The colours don't seem as vibrant either. To be honest it looks the same quality as my £120 printer could print even though I have spent two days following instructions from affinity and Epson. I just don't understand what is going on.

My prints are still coming out dark, I have selected the right paper, I have assigned the right icc profile. when I assign the icc profile it actually says it will be lighter but its not.

The colour setting set up is completely different on Affinity.

Im on Mac, Yeah that is super confusing, I've managed to download icc profiles but they weren't from there website, ill see what this turns out like.

hi Gabe
I have been onto the website and they don't have the normal paper profiles just fine art papers as the other ones are already installed on the system. If you check yourself on the website for the icc profiles for my printer they only have a select few.

Hi, I am getting extremely frustrated trying to print accurately from my Epson printer. I bought a SureColour P600 the other day, I am able to select all of the relevant print options and paper options however, when I go into soft proofing, there isn't an Epson profile in sight. Please can someone help me! I have rang Epson and they have said that its to do with the program and that I need to contact you. I have seen on your youtube tutorial that using a canon printer there are canon profiles, why can't I see any for Epson? My prints are the right colour but printing loads darker than they should be. My screen has been properly calibrated with a Spyder, and Im selecting the right paper type, I have also clicked the colour being managed by the application.

It actually seems to print more accurately with the soft proof still turned on...
