Digital BW, The Print

I've just purchased and received some Moab Entrada Bright White paper, and I have read 
some posts in this forum stating that it tends to be flaky.  I've printed only on two sheets 
so far, and have not seen any flakes; however, I have noticed what could be described as 
"drops" of the inkjet receiving layer on the paper.  They stand out slightly above the 
normal texture of the paper, but can only really be noticed when viewing the paper at an 
extreme angle to a light source.

Are these the source of the flakiness that others have reported, or are they something 
different?  They seem to be fairly well attached to the paper, though I was able to pop one 
off with a blade.

I'm *not* concerned about this in terms of image quality, just curious about the reported 
flaking.
