Digital BW, The Print

Thanks Jennifer & Martin - what you're saying would make sense.... 
because I don't see the specks when the image is first printed, it 
only appears a few days later, when I retrieve it and have another 
look. And not consistantly either.
I will try and blow off or dust off the paper first. Do you use 
any 'tool' in particular for this ?
I've been using Eclipse Satine paper.
