I have both a dry mount press, and a fiber drum dryer, both of which were
purchased used, and locally. Compared to the new prices both items can be had
quite reasonably, but they are heavy/bulky and expensive to ship, so it is best
to be patient and wait for one to appear in your local market.
I tend to use the dry mount press just for mounting, since when I use the drum
dryer, the prints come out flat, and do not require any additional flattening.
