How long are you folks letting this paper dry prior to framing or sleeving?

  Walt,

  I've only used one box of the Ilford, but I've not had the same surface 
  problems you report. Whether that's because I'm lucky or not as picky, 
  I don't know.

I've just about gone through a roll of the Ilford Gold Fibre Silk. So 
far no inconsistencies or flaws. Also seems not near as fragile a 
surface as Innova's Fiber gloss.

Dry time is longer with the Ilford--I let it sit overnight before 
cutting or packaging--that seems to be working fine (so far).

One easily fixable glitch I've come across is that it cockles as the ink 
is being applied (remember I'm using rolls). This has caused smearing 
from the heads hitting the surface. I increased the platen gap and that 
fixed the problem. The cockling disappears pretty much as the image 
emerges from the printer.

Best;
