Printing negatives developed in PMK on variable contrast paper

I have started using the Pyro PMK film developer formula developed by Gordon Hutchings in combination with Delta 100 and HP5. I am also using variable contrast enlarging paper and I am wondering about the effect created by the yellow pyro image stain which changes the paper printing contrast in the highlight portions of the image. I would like to know about the experiences of others in dealing with this effect. Are you changing your printing technique to overcome it, or are you increasing film development time, or are you only using graded paper with negatives developed in PMK?
