Digital BW, The Print

I can hardly wait to try the infrared digital route. But tell me why on
earth would you want to add grain to your infrared image? I've been
hoping for years to find an infrared film with NO grain.

I consider the grain a serious defect in Kodak infrared film. That's why
I never use it.
