Digital BW, The Print

Am using the lighter weight 190. The drafsman's brush I don't know 
what it's made of, but it's soft enough not to cause any issues,
(although has fixed the problem). (In fact I use this brush to clean 
my mats right before laying on the glass while framing and it has 
spared me numerous headaches).

The fine art entrada does appear to have flaking issues on a small 
percentage of the sheets if you don't brush it , but since I started 
brushing every piece, have not had one single problem. Here's another 
trick I found works perfectly...if there is a spot that has flaked, 
find a Pentel Ceramicron black fine tipped pen cartridge (I use this 
for my finest line work on other stuff), and 'touch' the white specks 
which have flaked which would otherwise ruin your print...the ink 
blends seamlessly with the printer ink (Mis-VM).
Best, Mark
