To add Grains or don't

2005-05-17 by John

Recently I show some of my B&W prints using C86 and EZ inksets to some 
members of a traditional darkroom group. They said overall the tonal 
separation is good but too smooth and sharp. They also said without 
grains, one can tell that it's a digital printout.

Therefore my question to the senior members here; do you add grains and 
sharpen in the final picture before you print?

Thanks,
John
