But you've dismissed the sepia preset I built without even trying it. 
Actually, having seen your work, I think you might like the tone of the PFP2 sepia 
setting, though its not as saturated as your own prints. But it would be 
possible to take the default sepia setting, build a profile from it, softproof it 
using the B&W test image in the PrintFIX PRO 2 Print Preview tools, move back to 
the adjustment screen, increase and otherwise adjust the slider adjustments, 
softproof again, and within a couple of minutes, without even printing 
anything, be most of the way to getting a sepia to your personal taste. A hard proof 
print or two right out of PrintFIX PRO would finalize your choices. Don't knock 
it until you've tried it, its a very fast and powerful way to tone images. 
And if you'd prefer to tint in Photoshop, with real time feedback, you can do 
that instead, and import that RGB curveset to PFP to apply to your images.
