Edit menu, Color Settings menu choice.

If you've never accessed that menu, then it is probably set to sRGB and your image is being converted to sRGB from LR.  To maintain a match, PS RGB: working space needs to be set to ProPhoto.

It also depends on how the Color Management policies are set up. if you have RGB: set to Preserve embedded profiles then the image should be fine even if sRGB is the default working space.  If it set to convert, and your profile mismatch boxes are turned off, then it is getting converted to sRGB when it comes into PS from LR.

Attached are my current settings in Lr and PS. PS was set to sRGB which I have now corrected but "preserve embedded profiles" was selected as default so it is a bit disappointing that workspace of sRGB may not have been my issue.

I watched the videos regarding Lr and PS color management on LuLa which were very informative. Although I don't completely understand it, I did change the gray workspace from "dot gain 20% (default)" to "gray gamma 1.8" as was suggested in the video.

Anything else I should check on settings-wise before I start trying to print again? :/

Both preferences look just fine!
