Don't use fans or heat to speed things up. If they curl you can take a nearly dry sponge (did I say clean sponge?) and barely (as in almost not at all) moisten the back of the print then press it between blotter paper under a heavy weight or put it between a couple of sheets of mount stock in a hot, unclamped, drymount press for a few minutes. -- Tom Thackrey www.creative-light.com tom (at) creative (dash) light (dot) com do NOT send email to (it's reserved for spammers) |

"Monkey" wrote in message . .. any trick to dry it as flat as possible without spécial and expensive dryer ? Another way, and you won't need to invest any money is to 'line dry' them. Hang a line across your room and hang them just like you see in the movies, or better yet with two clothes pins, one in each corner along the long side of the print. You'll still jet a little curl, but just along the edges.

Dry them face up on a table. If they have a slight curl, you can steam iron
the back to help remove the curl |

You'll still jet a little curl, but just along the edges. Use clips along the bottom isolated with a few folds of paper or cloth to weight the film down. If the clips touch the film at the bottom, they will leave a stain, that is why some absorbent material must be used. |

Anyway, most film has enough 'leader and trailer' to make staining not a problem... __________________________________________________ _____________________________ Posted Via Uncensored-News.Com - Accounts Starting At $6.95 - http://www.uncensored-news.com The Worlds Uncensored News Source |
