[pure-silver] Re: curled fiber edges

Hi Nicolas,
Pakasol? More details on this; looks interesting; solution to a persistent problem? 

Cheers,
Bogdan

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



A variation I use on prints that have already dried is to dampen the
back side of the print and then put it in a weighted blotter - or in
the pages of a phone book with more books stacked on top.

I used this a lot in the days of single-weight FB paper.  Double weight
paper doesn't _really_ curl up: SW Velour Black could curl into a tube
the size of a pencil.

I find soaking prints in Pakosol for 5 minutes before drying does
help, and it gives the finished print a nicer 'hand'.
