Bernd,

The most common solution is to print your color negs on Kodak Panalure
paper.  It's made for this.  Process normally in Dektol or whatever paper
developer you're using.

  Hi all,

  After recently having invested in used, fairly low tech b/w lab equipment
and installed a darkroom I wonder now whether I can produce decent prints
from my colour negatives. I tried this, but the results are quite poor due
to the lack of black and white contrast. In addition, the film base material
is orange or reddish, which means even worse conditions.
  Does anybody in the OM community have some good suggestions? Are the
papers, chemicals, filter or so that can enhance the B/W print capabilities
of colour negatives?
  Any comments which help me further are welcome.

  Regards,

  Bernd
