You should be able to download ICC profiles from the printer manufacturers website, I do it occasionally with HP. I'm not sure if you can do the same with paper manufacturers though.

Are you sure the Printer supports the use of ICC profiles?

You can get generic profiles made but there's usually a charge....£12 or so for each paper type.
Contact the printer or paper manufacturer

You say there's very little difference to the Epson paper, and you've gone for a real budget brand, which to me begs the question, just how accurate do your colours need to be? I must admit though, I'm a bit of a colour Philistine... If it looks good, its good enough for me!

The colours are slightly more muted with the budget paper, but if you were to look at a picture in isolation, I would think that most people would think the colours were brilliant! The Epson paper produces more accurate colouring, presumably because the profiles that ship with the printer are specific to the Epson paper and inks. I'm not printing photos for professional use anyway, so I suppose as long as I'm happy that's OK!You say there's very little difference to the Epson paper, and you've gone for a real budget brand, which to me begs the question, just how accurate do your colours need to be?

The only thing is that on BW prints, there is a definite warm cast, i.e. it's not Black and White, whereas on Epson paper it is black and white.
I've tried the manufacturers website, no profiles are available.
