I had a handful of photos rejected as 'too grainy' last year. It seemed to be an arbitrary determination, as all photos in my classes were taken with the same camera, printed on the same paper, using the same printer. What I did determine, however, was the photo paper I was using seemed to be heat sensitive; it yellowed badly when stored in high temperatures (hot cars, mail carrier trucks, etc.) I switched to a high quality HP photo paper and haven't had any problems.

Now, I'm dealing with fingerprint issues. I'd never had prints rejected up until recently. I'm very, very picky about the quality of my prints and will print and reprint people until we get it right. There have only been a couple that I knew would be questionable (the student had scarring, calloused or very wrinkled fingertips), but they're returning prints I KNOW were good.

I have to believe they're so overloaded they're rejecting as many as possible for every technical reason they can think of.
