Digital BW, The Print

There is a tendency for Photo Rag to flake, no doubt about it.  What I do is rub the surface, 
not too delicately, then blow it off with compressed air and print.  Except in one or two rare 
cases, this has stopped flaking problems.  By the way, I have found that the new Photo Rag 
Satin is much less prone to flaking; in fact, so far haven't noticed any.
