[pure-silver] Re: rc prints curling

I've only had this happen with long wet times- processing; then storing a bunch of RC in a holding bath before rinsing and drying- I squeegee and dry on screens face and drying RC face down has usually caused screen impressions on RC emulsions for me. 
I dry fiber face down.

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?
