Try the "NoK" profile with luster paper. It doesn't use any black
ink, but it does produce a
neutral/cool print using only the neutralized (with light cyan and
light magenta inks) light
black ink. If you need really deep blacks then a neutral profile
that uses either neutralized
Photo Black (with full strength cyan and magenta) or even better the
MIS PKN (cool neutral
version of the Photo black ink) should be used. The Epson Photo
Black ink that is used
with RC papers is extremely warm. I don't think that any of the
older profiles for RC
papers that have been distributed use a neutralized Photo Black ink
and that may be the
source of the warm tones you are getting.

Epson's photo black is a very warm almost brown black and used with QTR will print exactly that way. The photo black (pk) curves supplied with QTR don't use toner inks to compensate for the pk only the light black (right click on the curve in the QTRgui and it will show a graph of the curve). Instead, try using the UC-NoBlack-Neutral curve. This might seem counterintuitive but since it doesn't use pk it won't print brown and has the benefit of allowing the use of any paper without having to switch black inks - just leave mat black installed.
