Thanks Gary. I was thinking that contrast may be lost in image transfer
from print to film.

I have found that contrast usually builds up in copying. I copied some
valuable photographs to film years ago using Panatomic-X film. I found a
yellow filter to be useful since there were some fixer strains on the
prints. I bracketed exposures, used minimum-exposure black techniques to
print the contact sheet and printed the best neg to a very soft paper (#1 I
believe). Only one negative and a soft paper gave me the combination of
contrast and grainless smoothness that matched the original print.
