We all get them, regardless of what we cover our workbenches with (paper that interleaves glass in my case) some are self inflicted, some not.
I have a putty rubber (soft - for faint marks) a 'mystic eraser' (normal - for more stubborn marks) and a typewriter eraser (hard - for even more stubborn marks).
The typewriter rubber is a thing of the past - because a typewriter also is! I used to use one in pencil form, you could sharpen it to an oh-so- fine point for removing those tiny little specks JUST in or sometimes even under the surface paper, also very good for self inflicted specks, it will even tidy up overlaps in pen and wash lines (do you call them French Mats?) In fact for a time I was lost without one of these, but now I have sourced them again, through one of out craft suppliers.
What do you use?
