Digital BW, The Print

Yes, I've wondered that too, maybe the ink shrinking as it dries.

I remember a few years ago Torchon seemed more popular, at least it
was mentioned more often, and I remember there were flaking
complaints.

Wouldn't it be sad if the very ingredient that produces the good dmax
also causes the flaking...
