Just out of curiosity, have you been trying different adjustment curves 
and/or softproofing your pictures in Photoshop on a calibrated monitor 
set to G1.8/D5000? I find I get pretty close on the first or second 
print and then one or two tweaks gets me the look I want. I'm using a 
1280 with Peizo Selenium and Museum Bright Paper on a G5 with OS 
10.3.3. You might also want to try the following technique to define 
your blacks better:

You can equally use its inverse to isolate and adjust highlights as 
well. Hope this helps.
