Assuming you only have a two or three hinge points at the top when t- hinge mounting, you might consider trying different, and especially heavier paper. Some environments, especially coastal with high humidity are just notorious for paper curl. In those cases you may want to consider permanent dry mounting or roller mounting. In both cases, the use of a press or roller is recommended to get all of the air out and to fully activate the adhesive. On smaller prints this process can be done by hand with skill, but as the print size increases, the right equipment becomes more important.
