That, actually, could be the case. It could also be the case that the profile 
you're comparing it with isn't an actual representation of the gamut the 
printer is capable of reproducing. I've found that to be the case with more 
than one manufacturer-supplied profile. And it could be a little of both.

If you want good quality inexpensive paper, give Red River a try. They're not 
the best mill out there, but they're definitely acceptable...and most 
everything cheaper is hit-or-miss at best.

If budget isn't as much of a concern, it's hard to beat Crane Museo, Moab, 
Canson, and Hahnemuhle -- the latter especially if you like stuff with 
fluorescent optical brighteners (which I generally don't, but I have to give 
Hahnemuhle credit for doing the medium justice).
