In my experience softproof in Print, and softproof in Photoshop are nearly identical: if the paper white and ink black checkboxes are checked in Photoshop. I can't imagine any reason why the softproof would be different for you between the two, given the proper settings in Photoshop (there are not settings in Print). The display profile is used by both apps. The print profile is used similarly by both apps, at those settings. Its a mystery. Can you email me (to address below) a zipped profile that shows this differential, so I can compare it on my end, and a zipped measurement set from which that profile was made?
