Digital BW, The Print

So I got my 1160's CIS system and VM inks. But, I think I'm having a 
problem.

I got rid of all the banding etc after what seemed like a million 
purge prints, and moved on to my first few test prints. And, well, I 
was not impressed. Hmm, why is that? It took me a while, then I did a 
test print similar to Paul's Grand Teton shot on his website (the one 
where he's got 4 images side-by-side with the different curves 
applied), and well, while there were differences between the prints, 
they were ALL VERY cold. The neutral looked similar to Paul's cold 
(on the Teton's shot), and the warms never left the "cold" zone 
either. Everything was cold, it was only a matter of how cold.

So, I tried a few other prints, and I'm still in the same problem. 
Everything is coming out ice cold.

Is this a workflow problem? I've got all the images in RGB mode, and 
I'm printing through the Epson driver.

When the image is ready to print, I apply an adjustment curve and 
load the selected curve, then hit print.

In the Epson driver I've chosen these settings:
Color ink
Photo Paper (for Ilford Classic Pearl)
Photo 1440dpi
ICM

Am I missing a step or is something else out of line?

Thanks for the help!!
