Sorry, coming late to this discussion. Are you gently wiping the paper before printing? I think that is a recommendation from Hahnemuhle. I use WT all the time and have not had any flaking problems.

If your experience is anything like mine, the images frequently flake or speck despite ginger handling. Is there a fix to this? A spray fixative or some other way to harden that image on the paper? I am using Hahnemuhle Museum and Hahnemuhle William Turner out of an Epson 3800 using Epson inks. Suggestions? Lea (who still hasn't yet found a fix to the curled edges of these Hahnemuhle papers. A rep with the company says it's the 'nature of the beast' and just try to 'work the curl out before you print' with it) your kids . my camera . we'll click www.leamurphy.com
