Digital BW, The Print

Better choices for developing Tmax can be made, compared to D-76 or HC110
IMHO, and this is especially true for portraiture.  Try Xtol.  Full temp
charts are available on EK web site.  As long as it has at least five
minutes in the soup you will get good results.  I would say from my
experience that Tmax in Xtol is a relatively good match for for the look of
Tri-X in HC110B in the mid-tones, of course the difference between the films
is the extended linear highlight sensitivity of Tmax compared to the
relatively flat shoulder of Tri-X.  Tmax is much more sensitive to correct
exposure and cannot tolerate any over-exposure, so if your highlights are
flat there is the problem.
