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

I have never had to do that to epson papers, never experienced this 
with any other epson printer/ink/paper combo. Other papers yes, I use 
my drafting brush with good results. I really don't like what  rubbing 
with a cotton tee does to the highly textured surfaces, and I didn't 
like the threads that stuck to the well's, maybe I need to know your 
brand ;)

I agree, Sommerset E is lovely. But for client proofs, I'll use the 
Enhanced... without the flaking.
