Digital BW, The Print

What is your disappointment with your prints?  The D60 can make outstanding
quality portraits. Yes, the paper makes a big difference. What is it
about the EAM you don't like? Some love it. Photo Rag is more or less
the paper of choice for fine 
art printing. If you don't like a D60 image printed on that paper, It is
almost certainly your technique that is at fault, not the camera or
paper. Prints on this paper surpass most darkroom prints by a large margin.
