Digital BW, The Print

I've never seen any grain in an XP2 neg, with prints up to 18 inches
long. None. The only time this film gets grainy, is if you underexpose
it. and then it REALLY gets grainy! 

I use an ISO of 250 for this film, never higher.

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.
