Well... if you own one of the major paper maker's printers? Yes... because they have the resources to do the testing, and they want you to use their papers/printers... Brother, as far as I know, doesn't sell their own paper, so doesn't care... so leaves the ICC file testing/creation to someone else...

Having said all that... If you're serious about "printing" a quality product... you might consider buying one of the better printers... from one of the more supported printer makers... I'm in my Canon Pixma Pro printer for less than $100 after their rebates..

Thank you for the help walking through this or trying, it appears those profiles are dead now, I click to add them to the cart and it just spins and the links are dead. I have been looking at either an epson or a canon printer but if there was a way to salvage my current one economically it would be nice.

You would do well to explore a new printer. That Brother printer is more a Multifunction copier/fax machine that prints 3 colors...

Photo printers print using upwards of 8 different ink cartridges... worrying about color gamut with a 3 color machine is lot like participating in the Indy 500 with a 1930 Model A... :)
