Digital BW, The Print

I have done numerous side by side comparisons with the
EEM and the H. Photo Rag.  Aside from the Photo Rage
being a bit warmer, I don't see any appreciable
difference in image quality or sharpness.  This
includes black levels, although I know the Photo Rag
is suppose to have a better D-Max.

I show other people (non-photographers) the same two
prints on both papers and they see no quality
difference either (other than the warmer tone of the
photo rag).
