printing from APH to Canon pro 10 using paper icc on a mac

[Designer123]

I ran two test prints on a canon pro 10.  One from CS3 and the other from APH.  the photo was srgb. I was printing on Moab paper, so both images had to be converted to moab paper icc.  In cs3 photoshop controlled color management and conversion to Moab icc.   In APH, ColorSync in print menu was select along with paper icc.  I suspect Mac printer driver running the show here?  The results were: photoshop CS3 came out perfectly and Affinity photo via Mac was a mess.  So disappointing,  I hate adobe and don’t want to use any of their products but not sure how to work around this affinity problem?

i am sure I am not discovering the wheel here and am eager to hear if anyone else has found a solution to this problem?   I am wondering if APH on Windows has better color management?  Or if converting the photo in APH to the paper ICC and then printing without ColorSync would give better results?  
 

if anyone has any thoughts, I would love to hear them..

thanks.

It might help if you said more about what you mean by "a mess" but if you mean that the colors are not what you expected, please post a screenshot of the printer dialog window set to display where you selected ColorSync (possibly "Color Matching" but every printer is different) & whatever you have chosen for the "Profile:" setting.

If that setting is "Automatic" & you select "Other profiles..." does your moab paper icc profile show up in the list?
