Steve,
         These are particles in the coating that is being used, probably alumina compounds which are used in some microporous surface coatings for better reflection and also in gloss finishes. If the propotions are not absolutely correct you can get flaking and sparkle and also reaction to some types of chemicals that are in some inks

1. In general the Moab Entrada papers give me more flaking problems than I have had before. Is this typical?

2. I am also seeing very small sparkly specs on my Moab Entrada prints. I don't think they are flaking. They are not small white specks. They appear or disappear when the paper is moved relative the light source. They sparkle.

Does this sound familiar? What can I do about it?

Nothing unless the paper manufacturer changes their formulation.

3. I am using QTR 2.1f and QTRgui 2.1.13 on Windows XP and a 2200. I have several paper profiles that I think I got a few months ago from some user of this newsgroup. They may be for a Mac, and they may be for version 2.0. Is this a problem? Will they work with Windows XP and QTR 2.1? They seem to work just fine, though I can only compare them to results on Epson enhanced matte, since I know I a good profile for it.

Thanks,

Steve
