Are you referring to the regular pattern of rows and columns seen as horizontal rows and vertical columns?
That is an aftifact of bad scanning and/or a bad digital printer-- most likely bad printer-- and has nothing to do with defects in your film emulsion.

What is the creature appearing as a shadow in the background that looks as if it is about to eat what looks like a shadow of a large water tower? If that's a scanning artefact then I'm glad I still have my enlarger

Thanks

Oh, the shadow of a porpoise resting his chin on a box resting on the edge of the pool...I overlooked that for the grid going across the image. It hadn't occurred to me to ask who broght the porpoise

If he's an old school photographer and you asked him to print your image digitally, perhaps he used a dot matrix printer?

Honestly, this whole thread is off topic -- it's a digital image, printed digitally. Mods, can you move this thread to a digital section?

Sorry, i just thought I would put it in analogical because I took the picture with an analogical camera with film, and I didnt knew the problem was digital.

Based upon OP description, it is Hybrid workflow, neither purely analog nor purely digital.
