Hi,

The paper is not supported by your printer and therefore this behavior.

 

First, the paper is only intended to be used with pigment based ink system (4 individual ink cartridges), while your printer uses a Dye-based color ink so the paper is not compatible intended for such a printer:

Spoiler
This matte 189 g/m² paper-based medium is exclusively used with pigment ink. With the current silver-halogenide system, users could not print out matte pictures unless they subjected them to a complicated procedure. This paper is not the only solution for this complex procedure; however, it is attractive for many professional users that have been waiting for such a type of paper for a long time.

Also, your printer supports 220 to 300 GSM Photo Paper with Matte or Glossy finishing, not any other Matte finished paper, 189GSM is not within the range supported by your printer:
