Digital BW, The Print

Frank,

What paper are you using?

Usually white spots are the result of paper dust on the paper prior to
printing which then fall off once the print is dry. Hahnemuhle William
Turner paper is known to do this but brushing the paper before printing on
it solves the problem.

Check to see if your printer is clean. If it has a lot of paper dust, this
could be the source of your problem.

Thanks Jennifer & Martin - what you're saying would make sense.... 
because I don't see the specks when the image is first printed, it 
only appears a few days later, when I retrieve it and have another 
look. And not consistantly either.
I will try and blow off or dust off the paper first. Do you use 
any 'tool' in particular for this ?
I've been using Eclipse Satine paper.

What paper are you using... some papers such as Orwell need to be brushed before printing and then an archival interleaving sheet placed over the print to protect it.  It tends to 'flake'.

  for some inexplicable reason I seem to have white spots appearing on 
  some of my prints after a few days - what could this be ? Damage 
  or ....how long do you let your prints air dry before letting them 
  lie face down or putting them away either in a drawer or box or 
  frame ?

Just the coating peeling off. A lot of very expensive papers have this fault.  Be sure to wipe down your papers with a soft cloth before
printing on them.
