Hi Tony.

My name is Kentaro Kumagai.(www.digital-negatives.jp in japan)

I also tried. 
"ICC profile Soft Proofing" is made using a scanner. 
My scanner is Epson Perfection V750 Pro. 
But The accuracy of the color was low.
I used colormunki photo. This is wonderful. 

This is Platinum Print ICC profile for soft proofing.

For example, if I wanted to look at an image on my monitor as a straight palladium print, developed in potassium oxalate on Arches Platine I could just apply a pre-calibrated RGB curve to the image to see if I was satisfied with the tones of the proof before finally committing the image to paper.
