Since there is so much discussion on paper shrinkage, and we all know
that speed of drying affects shrinkage, (right? Is it safe to assume
that?) how do you dry your alt prints?

I usually just hang it up, whether it's just coated with emulsion or
has been "developed." But I have been toying with the idea of a
drying cabinet, using moving air and perhaps low heat to speed up
drying. This is especially necessary in the humid South during Summer
months. Could someone with such experience share them with us? Is
there more uniformity in shrinkage when dried this way? What do you
use as a heat source? Etc.

Thanks.
