Notes for US paper users
The full set available includes scanner profiles, as described in the main written review.
Note that there are some papers listed above with multiple profiles – these are ones where different profiling or media settings were used. They indicate that you might want to experiment to see which is best. For the Epson Archival Matte ‘super’ profiles, start with the ‘opt’ one.
Don’t forget that my profiles are meant to show slightly different handling of colours depending on the rendering intent you choose when printing. Many print applications, such as Epson Print Layout [EPL], give an indication of this difference by allowing soft proofing,
When printing on matt papers with the Relative Colorimetric rendering intent [RelCol] make sure that Black Point Compensation [BPC] is selected, to avoid crunched up shadows.
For very strong colourful images, you might wish to try the Saturation rendering intent. This -sometimes- works for more graphical images, but is one I rarely use myself.

Keith Cooper Printer Profiles for Canon G550/650/670 ink tank printers
These profiles were created originally for Mac use, as described in the main [written] review [see also for potential Windows use]
Whilst they are for specific papers, I believe they also work well for ‘similar’ papers if using the same media setting.
They are an attempt to get round the broken colour management when forced to use the AirPrint driver on Macs with smaller Canon printers.
