I recently got fed up with old Epson 1290 and have changed to canon ix4000 (but don't especially recommend apart from being cheap) so can't help with specifics. Also I now only use Ilford galerie pearl paper, not one of the ones you mention, but an Epson paper will have settings in the driver that come up in the 'colour management' section of the 'preferences' of the software from which you are printing.

Different papers seem to have wildly different colour bias. If like Canon, Epson only have dedicated 'printer profiles' for their own papers, when using another paper you may be able to get some guidance from the paper manufacturer on some settings but use a 'generic' profile (in my case Canon IJ 2005) rather than a profile aimed at an Epson paper even if what you are using appears similar, eg gloss. The Canon 'quality' paper settings print way over towards red on Ilford, ie their coating must be biassed so as to need loads of red.
