Digital BW, The Print

Hi Bob,
 
one reason might be that the image hasn't 100% blacks. You can verify it in
Photoshop: if the darkest parts of the picture, those that should be pure
black, with no detail, even read 1 or 2 rather than 0, you're not getting
the best blacks in the final print.
As someone else posted not long ago, checking this is worth as a standard
routine before printing, but the more so when comparing papers.
 
Hope this helps,
Alessandro

Truman: This is amazing. I pulled out an image I just printed on all
three papers. Critically comparing the HPR and EEM prints side by
side, I simply can see no difference in the blacks, shadow detail or
highlights. And, the base of the EEM is very slightly whiter than the
HPR. All different from your observations. Maybe they vary in
production batches. Anyway, very puzzling.
