Flake reduction

2008-01-08 by Richard Smallfield

Hi,
I'm just wondering - do people find that brushing matte rag papers too vigorously can actually *cause* flake?

I always brush, blow and inspect before printing - but it's not a failsafe method.

thanks,
Richard

   I believe that the first test of a truly great man is his humility. 
   I do not mean by humility, doubt of his own powers. But really 
   great men have a curious feeling that the greatness is not in 
   them, but through them. And they see something divine in 
   every other man and are endlessly, foolishly, incredibly merciful. 
   --John Ruskin, author, art critic, and social reformer (1819-1900)
