Digital BW, The Print

The flaking is probably from dust settling onto the paper before being printed.

The ink is sprayed onto the dust and when the dust falls off the print, a "white spot" is left.

Do you brush off your paper before printing?

I use a large horse hair drafting brush to dust off my paper before printing.(Only matte papers!)

I rarely have any problems.
