I've used the Arches Infinity Smooth 230 gsm on an Epson 4000, and
Arches provided an ICC profile for it on their web site. I can pull up
the site for you if you like, not sure if they have a profile for the
uncoated wc but worth a look.

The bad news is that the profile was not accurate, I think they used
the photo black ink instead of the matte black since the blacks were
not very good (as seen on a print and on a profile viewer). After
experimenting with different options I found one of the Epson profiles
was a better fit, I think the Fine Art - Smooth (would have to look it
up to be sure) ... the point is to try the Epson profiles if you can
find one for an Epson paper that's uncoated.

Best thing to do is blow a hundred bucks and get a custom profile
built, if you really like that paper.
