Digital BW, The Print

I recently switched my R2400 over to Eboni and matte papers, and whether 
I like the change depends a lot on the image. Images with very high 
local contrast look great, but a number of my "softer" images look 
washed out compared to when they are printed on a good PK paper. I don't 
know to what extent this problem can be ameliorated by editing.
