Jerry and some others rub their hahnemuhle papers prior to printing 
with cotton. I and others use a drafting brush and give it a good 
brushing to remove possible flaking problems. I've tried the rubbing, 
once you rub, take the paper to the light, and tell me if you don't see 
burnishing... a definite difference in the surface and sheen. That's 
why I don't rub... but this is an ongoing difference of opinion eh 
Jerry? ;)
