Flattening roll paper curl- a solution

2002-03-25 by Mark MacKinnon

I wonder why you just don't use flat paper to begin with. Hahnemule sells their paper in 46" x 35" sheets, and it works out to being nearly half again less expensive, per square inch, over the same paper in rolls...

Indeed. No more dry mounting, or flattening of fiber prints for this
kid either- and I'm glad my judgment to not get rid of the press too
hastily bore fruit.
I used fresh sheets of blotting paper, and no residue that I could see
(and I did examine it under a loupe) stuck to the paper. That's not too
surprising because I've never had a problem with this
on any of the fiber papers that I've pressed over the years.
Clean, dust free paper is the key. Any dirt on the blotter will
pockmark the paper.
