Digital BW, The Print

Each paper has its place. The Epson HPN has deeper blacks while the RR AFA has a whiter base. HPN has more texture but not as much as CPN (cold press nat.). I recently found that printing an image that relies on a lot of darker to black tones, the HPN excells while the AFA looks weak. Conversely, when printing a winter image of a bush in snow, I couldn't get the HPN to deliver a print I was satisfied with (after having been enamored with it for the blacks), so I somewhat reluctantly ran a sheet of AFA through the printer and found exactly what I was looking for.
