I think the best way to dry fiber based paper is to hang it up and clip two
photographs back to back. Once they are totally dry they can be stacked
together, but you really have to dry mount fiber based paper to enjoy it.
Years ago, I worked for a newspaper and we used fiber based single weight for
pictures that people bought and ferrotyped it. It was uniformly curled at
least, but now I would never do anything with fiber unless it was dry mounted.
The paper curls on it's own, it's not the pressing that makes it curl. If you
put regular paper in between prints to blot it, you might introduce acid into
the prints that will rear it's ugly head years later. Not a good idea.
Hope this helps,
Curtis

Subject: [pure-silver] Curling at the edges
Is the curling at the edges of fiber-based paper simply a
characteristic of fiber-based paper, or is it exacerbated by certain
processing techniques?
ie is washing the print more than, say, two hours, going to cause
the edges to curl and ripple far more than if the print were only
washed one hour?
Or is most of the curling strictly the result of how it is dried? Can
I assume that most of you dry fiber prints using something akin to
blotter paper, with a weight on top?
(I have stayed away from fiber-based printing for some years, partly
because I seemed to have to go thru a lot of trouble to get the
prints flat.)
