Digital BW, The Print

Greetings everyone!

 A photographer friend recommended this group to provide me with 
some answers to digital printing on glossy/semi-gloss papers.

I'm a former model who is now working at the other end of the camera 
photographing other models to help them build and develop their 
books. When I shoot film I have access to a wet darkroom, it's 
messy, very time consuming but the results are quite good. For 
digital printing (Epson 2200 and high gloss/semi gloss papers) the 
results don't compare to silver prints. But I'd prefer to shoot 
digital and print on glossy papers, since b&w gloss prints are the 
industry standard requested by agencies for modeling portfolios. 

Can someone make some recommendations for inks that will improve the 
quality of my digital prints on gloss papers. Hope to hear back from 
someone soon.

Have a wonderful day!
Jo
