Jack,
Because of blowing leaves and other debris (and prints hitting into each
other) I hang my prints in a wind-protected spot: on a clothesline strung
out under a 2nd floor deck. The light never gets really intense and the
breeze usually dries the emulsion in 30 minutes or so. The paper is stacked
indoors. Occasionally, after a couple hours in the shade, I have noticed a
fogging effect. But its never really a problem unless it's uneven, as when
a sensitized print is partially covered.
Where I live, this outdoor option is only feasible in the summer months, and
I do it in order that I can move about more freely. I've been printing
large: 30x40 inches. At that size trays, etc. eat up plenty of space in no
time.
Keith

Keith,
I thought I was pushing the "rules" with coating outside on occation. Now I
understand that you are drying your paper in the open air. Please clarify
how you dry it and how long its in the light as it dries. I assume you don't
leave it sitting around any longer than it takes to get it dry enough to
stack or print... Tell all!
Jack
