Re: [Digital BW] Flaking ultrachromes was: anyone using a notebook PC.

Somerset Enhanced works well with the Ultrachromes...that's probably why
Epson went with Sommerset for its premium paper.  I'm assuming that you are
rubbing the paper down hard before you print on it...this is essential.  I
take a cotton tee shirt and really go at it on a flat surface.
