Low humidity seems to exacerbate this.  Drying emulsion down helps as well as 
storing them emulsion down.  Minimizing wet time is the best approach I can 
think of so if they sit in water for too long this will increase curl.

Subject: [pure-silver] rc prints curling

Ever since I started printing (~8 years ago) my RC prints (Ilford Multigrade 
IV, pearl finish) develop a slight curl when drying (the corners turn up, so 
the print has a slight bowl shape). After rinsing for 3-4 minutes, I squeegee 
them on each side, then place them on fiberglass screens, and they always have 
the curl when dry. Why? Shouldn't RC prints dry perfectly flat?
