Hi Dave! Welcome to RetouchPro.

There are several good threads addressing this subject-

Pattern Removal (http://www.retouchpro.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=992&highlight=paper+pattern)

If possible, could you attach an example of the surface marks? (make sure it's less than 100k)


almost forgot...this tutorial (http://www.retouchpro.com/tutorials/smooth/index.html) might help as well.
