I'm glad you solved your problem with Entrada Bright--Since large sheets 
became available again I purchased several cases and EVERY print (around 
15 large prints so far) have had flake damage. Some I could repair, most 
had to be reprinted again and again. This after brushing, wiping and 
blowing the paper before each print--a process that works well with PR.

I'm about to toss the remaining cases but maybe your "Hake" brush has 
properties above and beyond the other brushes. I'll give it a 
try--thanks for the information.

Best;
