What you are describing sounds something like reticulation, though I can't imagine how that could happen with 300 rolls in a dip and dunk line (or at least I would imagine it's a dip and dunk, since a pro lab).  I tried some XP-2 but didn't like it because I got gritty scans, but not like you're describing.  Sounds as if your lab has a problem.  You might try another roll or two and have Modernage process it -they're pretty consistent.  You've no doubt eliminated your scanner as a problem source.

>Tony,
The box, the roll, everything says process C-41. They are a 
custom color and black and white lab and they also sell the film.
Do you use XP2 and can you see "grain" in your XP2 or is it very 
smooth. I can see this grain like pattern even between the 
frames in the blank film area.
Actually I just read it is now XP2 Super.
