Digital BW, The Print

I 'am fairly new to the digital world so please go easy on me with 
the techno. language. I need to print out my images in a light sepia 
tone. I have a PC, Photoshop 6, and an Epson 1280 w/ MIS archival 
inks (reg. color/black, not hextone). I have read work flows from 
Roark and just about everyone else, and cant find anyone working in 
this way. 
I ran into Butch H.(an instuctor of mine) at his opening of his 
gallery show and he told me about this online group. And by the way 
the exhibition was a huge success, his work was flawless, and I 
couldnt belive it when he told me he used 35mm negs. WOW. Absolutley 
unbelivable that you can get that kind of quality(tonal range) and 
size from 35mm/digital prints. 
Right now the paper Im using is Epson matte heavyweight, but I have 
some Tunbridge on the way. I've tryed Duotone in photoshop -yuk, and 
Ive tryed switching to RGB and messing with the color balance, but Im 
not getting good results. I know part of the reason is like Butch 
said I need a program to sync my monitior and printer up, but I just 
havent wanted to give up the money for it since Im a student, and not 
professional. Anyway anyone have any ideas for moderate to light 
sepia tone in my prints? Thanks, Clary
