Excessive contrast with Tmax 100

I have been using 4X5 Ilford HP5+ developed in D-76 full strength, for the time recommended by ilford. And using acid stop bath and kodak rapid fix. I am totaly satisfied with my results.

I recently added 35mm Kodak t-max 100 to my film types. I developed this the same way (times according to kodak)

I tried to print some of these on my Omega D3 tonight. The ilford HP5+ is great! The kodak Tmax is VERY contrasty... there is no inbetweens!! the hair is black and the face is white!!

2 questions. How can I prevent this in the future? How can I make prints from the negatives I have now?

thanks

I
