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.
 
...or window screen...
 
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:smile:

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 :blink:

It looks like a moire pattern from digitising an image that has a dot pattern already.

that's howI see it too!
 
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.
