Digital BW, The Print

Hi,
if that was a response to my comments about Entrada, I might add that I use a lot of PremierArt Matte BW and almost never have flakes. I can't remember having one in the last few months.

I wonder if the smoother papers are less prone to flaking, such as PremierArt Matte BW and Hot Press? Just a thought.

I'm nearly ready to jump ship and go for another OBA-free rag paper at this point, after a charmed life with Entrada for a while - nearly every print is flaking at present. Very strange and quite unsustainable in terms of wasted materials.
