I have what I think is an unusual fiber in a cloth. it is a flat fiber under microscopic magnification. (vs round) Using light thumb and index finger pressure it lifted the print with out leaving any visible hairlines. Now I need my camera set up to verify, what I think this cloth is doing or not doing. Anyways its called Casabella Glass Magnet Cloth. I think it is intended for plasma Screens.. word of caution.
