Digital BW, The Print

Hi all,

Normally, PhotoRag is my paper of choice and I use Epson Enhanced 
Matte as draft paper. My default print size is A4.
 
Lately I'm making some smaller prints (A5-A6) with quite some detail. 
And I notice that my EEM prints show clearly more detail than the 
ones on PhotoRag. The paper is the only thing that changes. All 
prints are made on an Epson 2100, UT3D inks, QTR. In both cases I use 
the very same QTR curves (made with an Eye-One). No, I don't print on 
the back side of PhotoRag - once in a while I do by mistake, and then 
the difference is MUCH bigger :O).

I think I observed the same phenomenon earlier, but can not recall it 
was that clear. Perhaps I notice better because of the smaller print 
size? Or I got a different batch (of both PhotoRag and EEM) with some 
more difference.

Have you seen the same thing?
