Digital BW, The Print

Julian,

What better test of a paper than this? If a paper flakes a lot with this
test, it will
probably flake later on.  You should see the prints that Lyson sent me
as samples when I first started digital printing, about 6 or 7 years
ago. They sent samples of all of their papers, the very expensive ones.
Each had many white flakes when I got them. Now, there are hundreds of
flakes all over the prints and they have just been in a box.
Unbelievable. I'm sure we have come a long way since then, but unless
you actually wipe down the paper before printing, and do put your prints
in a protective sleeve, they will flake!
