Digital BW, The Print

If you want to stick to PK, try some Epson Premium Semimatte paper (>200
years dark storage life according to Wilhelm).  While it needs a post-print
spray like PremierArt Print Shield to get rid of the bronzing, the dmax and
general look of the paper is very nice -- closer to a silver print than a
matte paper, especially if dry mounted on matte board.

PK on matte paper will never give a good dmax or good shadow details.
