Hmmmm, I'm not *that* far away (Cordelia - just north of
Benicia), but typically less humid here (outdoor humidity
around 35-40% right now) than Berkeley (60-65% right now).
I suspect my indoor humidity usually follows outdoor
pretty closely.

It'll be interesting to see if we can find a pattern.

All I've been able to do is run a room air cleaner constantly to
keep the dust down, and I put prints in a cabinet to dry for at
least 15 minutes after printing.

Good luck -
