Re: Hahnemuhle flaking

2005-07-07 by chipcarterdc

I too got sick of flaking with HPR (yes, I always brushed it off before printing).  So, a few 
months ago, I started using Innova Smooth Cotton for those applications where I would have 
used HPR.  No flaking problems and it prints as good, if not better, than HPR and has the 
same slight texture.  And it's slightly less expensive.  You may want to try some.
