I tried borderless easels and found them a disappointment with some fiber
based papers that have a curl that required more than holding down the
edges. I finally ended up with a vacuum easel. I have 24x28 by Condit and a
smaller 13x18 Bay Chrome. A variable speed vacuum holds the paper at a very
low speed. Lately I have been using oversize paper that I trim down after
drying. I tape the paper along it edges to a smooth Formica covered piece of
counter top material so that the print dries flatter than if I placed in on
a screen.

Hi John,
Thanks for the tour of your darkroom and working space. Lot's a neat ideas.
One question concerning your borderless easel. I have a similar one,
16x20, and I want to know how you keep the top and bottom edge flat?
With mine, the sides are OK but I have to put a steel bar on the top and
bottom edge to keep it flat. Of course, this gives me a narrow margin
at top and bottom.
Cheers,
Bogdan
