Digital BW, The Print

Johnny, are your prints coming out brown? I tried Ilford Smooth 
Pearl with the QTR and they had a strong sepia tone, not what I 
wanted at all. Then again, there is no specific profile for luster 
papers in the QTRgui. I tried printing with NoK and print came out 
completely washed out. I wish I had some answers.
