I can get the Hahnemuhle paper locally at Hunt's about a 15 minute 
drive from here.   But I'm concerned about the flaking problem.  My 
photos and painting reflect my personality : DARK.  So even a tiny 
bit of coating flaking off will shine like a lighthouse!

And considering the cost of the ink and sheet of paper for 13X19 inch 
print I don't want to have to re-do a lot prints because of 
flaking.   How bad is the flaking problem and what can I do to 
minimize it?

Also how bad IS the EEM?   I was looking at some test prints I 
made about 2 years ago when it was called "Archival" that have just 
been sitting in a wire basket, unprotected from anything during that 
time, and I don't see any yellowing yet.
