[pure-silver] My Negatives Not as Contrasty As Prints

Greetings PS members,
I don't expect a perfect answer to this silly question, but I'm curious what any of you would have to say.
I have a roll of negatives that look perfect on the light table - I see detail in the shadows and the highlights, everything is sharp with good contrast - the highlights don't look as dense as they print, but they take a good deal of work to print. If the negative looks good on the light table, why should it be so contrasty on the paper? 

Happy Labor Day.

Elias
