Digital BW, The Print

I love the colors of these inks.  I've gotten a couple of really 
lovely prints, but my primary subjects are actors for headshots.  
The transition from shadow to light is a little abrupt.  I've only 
used Epson Archival Matte so far, will better papers help?  On a 
tight face shot, the transition from shadow to midtone to light is 
just a bit too "defined".  I'm blanking on the term, but it's 
that "digitalized" or "pixelated" look going from one color to the 
next.  It makes the image look pretty flat.

Will the Hahnemühle photo rag that I just ordered help this?

Thanks for any info.
