RE: Flattening finished prints
Put them in a book press if you have access to one, or between books or boards with a bit of weight/pressure for a few days. Kate -----Original Message----- From: Jordan Wosnick [mailto:jwosnick@fastmail.fm] Sent: 07 March 2007 15:49 To: alt-photo-process-l@usask.ca Subject: Flattening finished prints Hi all, I'm finally making some Pd-toned VDB prints that I'm happy with (just in time for the due date of our Canadian alt-process print exchange!) I don't have a dedicated darkroom, so I hang my finished prints in the bathroom to dry. They come out with a pronounced curl, which I'd like to remove. I don't have access to a dry-mount press. Is there any reliable way to flatten my prints without damaging them? (I made them on Fabriano Artistico.) Thanks in advance.
