I rarely print anything these days but I have quite a bit I want to now. My monitor is regularly calibrated and I have been trying to get my head around colour profiles and printing. I want to check I have this correct:
1. All my editing is done.
2. Select my colour/paper profile. In this case DSCL in lightroom.
3. Select soft proofing, make any adjustments and make a copy with this colour profile imbeded? The original LR file remains untouched?
4. Export this proof to a file for sending but export using srgb.

^ From that video above at 32m 50ish he says when you export you export using srgb from lightroom and not using the paper profile again. Have I got this right? I'm just trying to get as accurate a print as possible from dscl
It's been so long since I printed anything, pre LR4 and softproofing built in.
I hope that makes sense, thanks for any help
