I found that a long soak (like 30 hours) in room temperature water gets
the same ultimate shrink as HOT for an hour, so you can do a bunch at a
time & just leave it soaking... not all that tedious.
Besides which, the surface of some papers may get pulpy or dull after
several coats if there's no added gelatin size... so a multicoat print is
likely to look better sized even if re-register isn't an issue. But just
size & harden seldom finishes the shrinking... an added preshrink usually
does (IME).
