I had a similar problem on a 2100 with Epson Glossy Paper - Photo Weight. I solved it by changing the rendering intent in the Print/ Colour Management window to relative colorimetric. This snapped the reds back into place. BTW are the reds on your RGB target prints any better with that paper/ink combo ?
Although in theory the rendering should make a difference in terms of saturated colours, especially reds, in practice it doesn't help a jot!
I think a lot of this is also to do with our perception of colour. Do we all see red in the same way. The old phrase "red and green, never seen" puts this into context. If you drop a green leaf amongst red roses the red looks stronger, and vice versa, a red poppy in a green field makes the green look greener. Sometimes therefore, we almost need a pantone swatch or whatever to really see if the reds on our print match the actual subject red.
The problem here is that red on red still doesn't look red :-) More orange-red! I also think that matt papers are always going to be a bugger for vibrancy anyway compared to gloss?
