Eric and Geoff,

Thank you very much for your help. I am dehumidifying my studio and 
manually uncurling paper stock. I have not been able to flatten Museo 
or Innova paper by cold pressing as I do with silver gelatine paper. 
Can you tell me if PK papers are altered by hot pressing and if not 
what temperatures can be applied safely?

Regards 

Eugene

Eugene, I have only used the CMSR 13x19 and some smaller stock  in my 3800 so far.
I recommend careful manual uncurling of curled CMSR in the 13x19 size, right before you load it in the rear feed slot.
This stock is quite thick and stiff and any new curl persistent.
I have no experience with pressing. I made a dozen prints from a fresh box of CMSR with zero problems. Curl only happened in the part empty box after a couple of weeks of storage. The finished prints also just stored back in the box waiting for mounting have resumed their curl since. 

Cheers
Geoff
