The color of selenium toned prints is somewhat easier to achieve with digital printing than is the density. I think this is particularly the case with prints on the cotton rag papers because those papers, as yet, are not able to reflect a really deep black.Although they are certainly getting better. With the new line of Epson printers (2400, 4800, etc) using the K3 inks, including Photo Black, you can achieve greater density on the semi-matte papers (like the satin or pearl finish of darkroom prints). I have not experimented much with papers other than Epson Premium Semi Matte, which is capable of producing prints that have the tone a density of my darkroom prints on Agfa Classic, a fiber paper with a warmish tone.
