Of course it's an issue... Don't hang paper to dry, especially not by a
corner, if you plan to do any re-register. That's aside from the
possibility of tearing off a corner of a paper with low wet strength (eg
Zerkal, among others). Dry the paper flat at a slight angle (so water
won't puddle), best on something that will permit air to come from
underneath, too... a screen is good unless it's the kind of thin weak
paper that will take on the texture of the screen, especially after it's
had a long soak, or been shrunk in hot water...
I'm also told by folks savvy about paper that drying slower rather than
faster will improve dimensional stability...
