Do you find that to be true with ordinary BW photographic prints?   
I've never noticed BW prints on actual photo paper to exhibit

I'm not sure what brand my local lab uses except that it's made by a 
German company and it prints digital onto photographic paper.   I'll 
ask them next time I go there.
