I have been printing for the last two weeks for an up coming show.  I 
use a drafting brush and canned air on each sheet before I run it 
through the printer.  So far, I've only got 2 very small flakes, one on 
each of 2 different sheets, and they've been on Moab Entrada.  A dot 
from an ultra fine Sharpie took care of them.  The William Turner has 
been flawless.  Maybe it's more stable because it comes from 
their "art" product line instead of their "photo" line.  Maybe I've 
just been damn lucky.
