Go to Google and type in "marshall retouching" and you'll see many

You bought a 2200 and are using 3rd party inks? I expect to see a post
soon about clogging

Alan, a lot of people report problems like this with the coated fine
art papers, what can sometimes happen is that the coating flakes a bit
and sits on the surface of the paper, then after it's printed the flake
falls off, leaving a white spot. Hahnemehule Photo Rag is a paper
that's famous for this, for example (and at $6/sheet it's not cheap
either). Some people recommend brushing the surface with a fine brush
before printing to get these flakes off. Dunno if that's your problem
or if it's scuffing after the printing, but typically scuffing doesn't
cause the fine pin-point pricks that flaking does.

Sorry. I meant actual scratches on the print. The file is fine. I have
gotten the impression that the MediaStreet inks are a little more fragile.

Marshall makes touch up inks, but with an inkjet printer it's easier to
just enlarge your file to 100% and move about the screen looking for
the "scratches" in your file and fixing them with the clone tool.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Clogging, huh. MediaStreet was reccommended by someone who uses it all the
time. After the initial investment, it is a lot less expensive. It does
seem that I get banding more frequently than with Epson ink. I just do a
nozzle clean before I start, and so far that seems okay. Have you heard of
something more serious?

I remember having a similar problem working with an older photograph.
If you have a graphics tool (I use Paint Shop Pro) you can "clone" the
scratch meaning that you can cover it by copying other parts of the
picture and pasting it over the scratch!

That works fine for a digital image. I'm talking about scratches on the
hardcopy.
