Printing Metallic Cardstock on Epson R2000

Hi,

I recently purchased the Epson R2000. I print on metallic cardstock (http://www.paperandmore.com/metallic_cardstock_pearl_107.html) a lot and I'm having a hard time getting it to print correctly on this printer. I've tried many of the different print settings with the printer but the inks always look very faded. I believe it's just soaking into he paper because there isn't a coating on it? I'm just wandering if anyone has successfully found a setting to print on this metallic cardstock.

Thanks

I wonder about having a custom output profile made for your printer based on prints on this exact stock if you use it enough.

 

you may need to check and confirm the head and ink carriage is clean without holding first,
