1) These two statements are contradictory. Your paper's ICC profile has no impact on printing when the printer is managing color.
2) There is no reason that the same file, processed the same way, will look the same on two different papers. Each paper type reacts differently with the same ink, and each paper brings its own background color to the table. You must, at least, soft proof your file with the Velvet Fine Art ICC profile, on a calibrated monitor set to reasonable brightness, to a have a reasonable screen prediction of what your velvet print will look like
3) Velvet Fine is is an MK paper, not a PK paper. Your gloss and luster papers are PK papers.
Being honest, several steps in print workflow are missing here. Have you read any of the contemporary print books, such as the Schewe Digital Print, or John beards worth material? There are many gotchas to digital printing at a high level, but these books will at least get you started with proper orientation of color management and driver management.
