Digital BW, The Print

You might give XP2 Super a try -- it has a very "smooth" look and 
scans nicely. Someone else mentioned Efke 25 -- it's great also. I 
have a number of 11x14s (produced the old-fashioned way) from 6x7cm 
Efke 25 on my wall. But for scanning purposes, it doesn't look a lot 
different than XP2 Super. Try them and see what you like. XP2 is a 
chromogenic film, so you can use ICE with it if your scanner supports it.

Good luck
