Digital BW, The Print

I use Ilford HP5+ and TMax 100 in 4x5  sheet film and Arista 400 (which is 
supposed to be HP5+) in 8x10 sheet film. I process in D76 1-1, then scan, 
edit, and print. I use the same times, temperatures, and agitation methods 
as I did when I printed in the darkroom (i.e. the negatives that worked well 
for darkroom printing seem to also work well for scanning).  Since I use 
sheet film and you must use roll film if you're using APX 100 (APX 100 was 
discontinued in sheet film a few years ago) I don't think there'd be any 
purpose in going through my procedures.

Why are you switching to pyro? I've read that it's good for scanning though 
I haven't read an explanation of why that's so. I never found any benefit 
from PMK with wet printing. I've been tempted to try it again now that I 
scan and print digitally but I'd like to know why it's supposed to be 
particularly good for scanning before trying it again.

combination of film and developer. the new film is aristia.edu,ultra
{foma 100}. The developer will be pmk pyro.this is a staining
developer.If anyone is left that still captures on film would
like to hear your film/developer combos for this print workflow.
