Digital BW, The Print

The glossy paper may show printer artifacts more than the matte paper.
 Some printers show some microbanding when the image is formed mostly with
the cool LC-C inks.   (That was what was behind my thought of adding a
second LC in the place of the Y.  It will take different profiles, however.)
