I didn't get that, but what I did get was slightly uneven tonality in large
expanses of even tone, such as in the flank of the car.  It would appear
that XTOL clumps grain together, imposing a bit of a pattern in even tone.
It didn't bother me in the test prints I did (actually thought it looked
rather interesting), but at larger print sizes it might.
