I can't believe that this is not more of a widespread issue. Anyone that has put a 2200 print behind mat and glass in the last couple of months should inspect the glass closely for fogging. It really takes the sparkle out of the image; looks dull. Not a good thing when sold. The fog is a direct copy of the image and wipes off as a dry fine dust. Dark print area exhibits more, etc. Static is probably a factor since the particles move to the glass rather than rising. Also dosen't matter where the print is hung. I am not sure why a plain paper liner would dry the print any better or faster than air drying. It is more convienient. The problem still occurs after letting them air dry for a week or two. My best results are obtained at around 120 degrees for up to an hour. Yes, in a clean oven on cardboard. A safe range since the RC's start to permanantly distort at around 200. I am too new here to have seen any earlier discussions. Maybe the good news is that I'm the only one with this problem and am about to find out what I am doing wrong. Ron Rogers
