I heard through this list some time ago that using a squeegee only on the emulsion side and letting it air dry face down on screen in a drying cabinet works the best. When it's dry, it's barely curled and it flattens easily in a press, 225 deg F, for 2 minutes. I always put it face down in the press, then pop it into a Mylar sleeve. It is so flat some days that I could probably skip the press and just put it under heavy glass (or books, in your case). Hope that helps.

That gives the best, highest quality flattening effect I've ever found. -Charlie Janet Cull <jcull@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: This may sound like a silly question, but have you ever tried ironing the edges of dried fiber paper? Would the heat mess something up about it? I have such a time getting it flat. Surely there's a better way. I try heavy large books but often can't get it perfectly flat. Thanks.
