RE: palladium grain
You may have gotten the solution to soak in too much as well showing paper
fiber. If it happens again , then inspect the process. If it is a one off,
perhaps just that. You may also have a problem piece of paper.

Bear with me.
Yes in the shadow/dark regions when I "overexposed" the paper.
I need to circle back on this, but I think I overexposed because the
speed of the paper/emulsion changed due to humidity of paper.
As Palladium exposes is masks - more if humid (prints out).
