How to Fix Problem Regarding Color of Epson L380 Printer?

Hey guys, just bought an Epson L380 which is an inktank printer. So I was doing some initial print tests and I am using 70gsm plain papers (copier papers). The color prints are pretty washed out. I am a bit of a noob here but is this normal? For example the Red isnt like vibrant red, its looks closer to very dull I would say. Is something wrong with the printer or am I using the wrong paper?
