Oh.  Maybe I don't understand the problem.   I thought the flakes are 
the coating coming off the paper.  Like you print on a spot but then 
the spot of coating you just printed on falls off along with the ink 
you just printed, leaving just a white hole.

You're saying that the flakes are just left over from the manufacturing 
process but the coating that's on the paper is solidly adhered to 
it.     Can someone confirm this?   Because if that's the case i'm not 
as worried.   Thanks in advance!
