I have the same issue when printing on glossy paper. This type of
paper needs very high (diffuse) light, so for a normal installment
(like my bedroom) I compensate it rising slightly the luminosity of
the image with a simple curve, to bring up the details in the dark areas.

Try to print a 21 step scale, and check if you see difference between
the last steps.
