Pixma ip8720 Magenta looks Maroon?

I've had this printer for a couple of weeks, and it's my first canon printer. I am trying to print a graphic design project and the magenta keeps printing maroon. I've printed a bunch of pink PMS swatches to see what looked best, and they all seem off - darker, more coral or maroon than pink. I've tested out several different print profiles including Adobe RGB and sRGB. I've played around with the magenta color sliders but I don't want the entire design effected. I'm using a matt cover paper, but I also tested it on the Canon glossy II paper that came with my printer. Any suggestions??

This is an example of my swatches. For example, #27 is supposed to be magenta....
