Can others edit my Photos
Photos NOT OK to edit
I need to figure out my printing workflow problems in Photoshop.
So I got some glossy paper, and downloaded the ICC profile for the paper. But when I print, the print comes out way lighter than it supposed to.

My working space and tagged image profile are sRGB (Should that be different?).
When I go to printing dialog box, I select "Photoshop manages color" then I choose the printer profile, which is the paper ICC profile that I downloaded for my printer, and then I print. But the print, like I said, comes out way lighter than what printer preview shows. Any ideas? Another thing I'm noticing, is that the images come out not as saturated as on the computer. I would like them to be printed slightly more saturated.

I guess my discussion for this topic is, how do I fix my issue, and am I doing the whole working space and all correctly. This is my first printer.
 
My bad, I dowloaded the wrong paper profile. I used the profile for the Epson 3800 when it should have been 3880. Now when I print the photo, it looks perfect in every way.
 
See how good this forum is? problem solved just for posting it/
