I've tried some smaller sheets of the entrada, both the natural and white.
Same problem. Fairly significant flaking - even when you think you've
wiped/brushed every bit off, on one or two out of every three prints,
suddenly you notice little specs of white in the sky or something where it
has flaked off.

Although it's not too bad on the entrada, the Premier is much more resistant
to rubbing as well. The Premier also has a much nicer paper "feel" to it
(actually, nicer than Photo Rag). I still like the PR for it's whiter base
on some things, but if they come out with a slightly whiter version of the
Premier, I think that will be it...
