Hp 5500UV printing very dark on matte paper

I'm printing up 3 posters for a client, they are kind of dark, and very "brown" I'm printing directly from photoshop to the RIP on my printer. I've selected the same profile I use for my matte material (SuperHW PLus Matte) which normally prints fine (colors are off a bit but I don't have a dedicated rip)

but when I print this darker image, it almost comes out black! I've tried editing the file in photoshop to brighten it, but it becomes too saturated, the material I am using is JPM -170, Has anyone else used that material?

try looking for a profile, or try to make a profile. there you can set your ink saturation etc...

I went through all the matte profiles on my printer, printing up a small 100% sized crop of the print, every single one came out with the same amount of ink saturation. I'm heading back to try it again.
