I have just started working with the process and have had a reasonable amount of success so far. Today my prints started to get a very pronounced grain pattern. the grain appeared with both digital and camera negatives.

Could this be related to humidity/dryness of the coated papers? Or could it be a chemical (ferric oxalate) problem? No change in paper (stonhenge) or developer (sodium citrate). Coated papers are air dried with a fan, no heat applied.

Thanks
Dan
