Marco, make sure your raw film sits at 70 degrees and 50% out of the
plastic bag
for 24 hours before you image and process it.  Then make sure it sits at
70/50 for a
couple of hours before you measure.  If you still see a problem, change
your dryer
temperature.  The old rule is "Overdrying makes oversize."
