Re: palladium grain
Yep, Eric...the more I think about it, the more I believe I humidified the paper for too long, with the consequences you describe...live and learn.

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.

I usually hold the paper over a pot of simmering water and it works fine, but yesterday I got a weird graininess...has that ever happened to anyone?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).
