[Diana Bloomfield]

Thanks, Roger.  That's really helpful.  I've dried prints made on vellum, on glass, but I didn't tape the edges of the print.  The glass flattens it much better than not using the glass-- but taping the edges and then trimming them makes a lot of sense.  Duh-- not thinking over here. .   Thanks!
