Volvo brake pads, really this dusty? 200 1989

I had all of my brake pads and rotors replaced last month, using Volvo pads and Zimmerman rotors all around. I've noticed that I'm getting a fair amount of brake dust on all the hubcaps, more in the front than the rear. I've never had this much dust before even when I used Volvo pads. My old front Volvo pads were 3 years old and the old rears were only 1.5 years.

Can I somehow attribute this dust to the new rotors? Will it eventually stop, or can I just expect to clean my wheels every weekend? I'm just kind of baffled.
