I am having issues with the delicate surface of the the Gold Fibre Silk. I am leaving the prints untouched for 24 hours to harden up the ink. Even after that, it seems that a gentle breeze practically mars the surface. I am seeing both fine scratching and occasionally a white dot where the ink seems to have come off in a spot, revealing the paper underneath.
The scratching is not coming from the printer. I had that problem earlier, widened the platen gap and the printer scratches went away. I am inspecting the prints after they come off and they are fine. I set them aside uncovered for 24 hours. It seems they are getting damaged from sliding them in new, clean protective archival plastic sleeves from Clear Bags that are supposed to protect them from damage.
I have been having major issues with a 17 inch roll, but no real issues with 8.5x11 prints, which seem quite durable.
I have been looking around on the web and so many people are using it, I am beginning to wonder if I might have a bad roll??
Any experiences people can share with this paper?
BTW, make that Gold Fibre Silk. Got the name backwards in the title.
