I used to work in commercial printing, not photo printing but we printed A LOT of photos on brochures and marketing booklets and things. Even yearbooks for area high schools.
The grain thing was by far the most annoying thing I had ever seen. Being the person letting that run through your printing press and out the door was hard to deal with. Like so much grain that you’d think it had to have been done on accident or they used the wrong photo file by mistake. Like so much so that you would stop the job and call the customer to make sure they wanted that. lmao.
Ewwww. I hate the term “photog” that’s my pet peeve.
