Digital BW, The Print

I,too, have experienced some "flaking" with a box of 8.5x11 Innova 
Photo Smooth. When I look at the sheet closely at an angle it appears 
that a couple paper flakes are on the surface and have been "coated" 
over. It seems the coating is the only thing holding the "flake" on 
the sheet, which is easily dislodged when put through the printer. I 
flicked a couple off OK, before printing, but it left an uncoated spot 
on the paper (which is hard to see, BTW). The HPR flaking I've 
experienced has the paper dust sitting on the surface and a bit easier 
to wipe/blow off. 
I only see this on a few sheets but it is there. Otherwise I like the 
Innova paper very much.
