With the print washers I’ve constructed and purchased this usually was a result
of small bubbles adhering to the surface of the print. With some washers I
had/have purpose-made hold-downs made of plexiglass (like two coarse combs
running across the dividers, with the flat-bottomed “teeth” going just below
the surface of the water).
I seem to recall that warmer water was more likely to produce floaters. My
water treatment system for iron injects air into the water and that might be a
contributing factor too.
I suspect there are other factors, too, but air bubbles were my recurring
problem.
