Or is this just typical of the relatively cheap ($15 for 50 sheets) > matte paper? Are your scanner and monitor color calibrated? Did you print from Photoshop? If so, did you select the printer's color profile in the Print Options dialog box? That will help, though I've found the Epson profile for the 820 to be a little red and a little dark on every paper I've tried (the prints come out redder and darker than the image on the monitor or original print).
