Hi.

I have not been much help then, but I don't use Semi Gloss, so you might
let me off.

It could just be that perhaps it is not suitable for your printer, for some
reason epson know but are not telling. Does it show in the Media type drop
down?

How about trying some of the other Paper Makers sites to see if they list a
Profile for your R300 and their own Semi Gloss. It would mean changing to
their paper rather than the Epson. Have a look at Tetenal, Olmec (ICI & 7
Day shop), Permajet. This last one has a good range of very nice papers,
which I mean to try someday soon.
