As an aside, I had *terrible* problems with Entrada Bright (nearly every single print flaked) ... until I bought a 'Hake' brush - 6" wide, very soft bristles ... which I now use, followed by a blower bulb. Not even *one* flake since, in about twelve prints, some of them panoramas  800mm long. Before I got the brush I'd sworn off Entrada - but the problem has vanished now.

I saw a 4' x 5' Photo Rag print once ... and thought to myself that I wouldn't be brave enough to do a print of that size on PR due to the flaking problem. But the Entrada was far worse than PR for flaking until I got this brush.
