Hi,

I think there is an issue in Affinity Photo with printing module. When I use color handling 'Performed by App' with custom profile created by external company, the print result much differs from that one I get using Photoshop with the same way of color management.

Affinity Photo version: 1.8.3.641

Windows 10 X64 Professional

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open an attached reference picture (please download it from http://www.on-sight.com/download/Onsight_Media_Selection.tif)
2. Run Affinity Photo and load picture downloaded in previous point
3. Set printer properties to do not use any color management by the printer driver
4. Set color handling to 'Performed by App' and select any custom color profile
5. Print it

Please, see images from below links to see the issue with color after printing using Affinity Photo

https://freeimage.host/i/printed-affinity.JXGC1s - this scan was taken from image printed using Affinity Photo

https://freeimage.host/i/printed-photoshop.JXGEkQ - this scan was taken from image printed using Photoshop

Both images have the same profile used for printing and the printer settings was the same for each printing session (printer color management was set to off).

Issue: printed image looks like simulated on Photoshop soft proofing with 'Preserve RGB numbers'.

I expect that image printed by Affinity Photo with color managed by the Affinity Photo should look same as printed in Photoshop with color managed by the Photoshop with the same profiles used for printing.
