Rita,
For some
reason, I just saw your message below just now. Well, if you want to keep the
edges, there is still something you can try with the side pasting method. You
can use very weak paste (for mounting paintings, we use 1 teaspoon corn starch
for one cup of water; you can probably use 1 teaspoon for 2 cups), and don't put
the paste exactly on the edges but put it say 1 inch inward (and you only need
to apply the paste in narrow bad, like 1/4 inch wide). Paste the print on
something really smooth, like plastic laminate (formica), glass, or wall painted
with oil-based paints. After it dries, you can pull the print off easily since
the paste is weak.
I just saw
your last message about not wanting the paper to be too smooth. If that is the
case, it is even easier. After the print shrink a little bit and smooth out the
print to your likeness, you can just pull it off the support without waiting for
it to be completely dry.

have to cut the sides of the paper, which I don't know if that is ok for
your case.
Dave,
A good plan, except for the edges (and deckles) which may be the part I
most love... .
