I've had the same experience; I have the ICC for the printer / paper
combination from the service I use. I have a calibrated monitor. I do
soft-proof, I export with a good profile (ProPhoto)...
... AND, the prints all come out too dark.
I've been guessing that the prints are "correct" but that the simple fact
of luminance-based color versus pigment-based color is the culprit. Maybe
under extremely bright and direct sunlight, the prints will look "right".
It's a bummer; you try and do everything right and scientifically, and in
the end, you're still just trying "well, make it 5% brighter and see how it
looks".
