Actually, Emily . . . you lay it on its side. The problem that can be
overcome with practice is to not allow the sharp edge of the mylar to cut
into the emulsion or the actual paper. Some refer to it as the edge of the
negative. Real cutting edge stuff.

Which way does the negative go when you do platinum printing? You don't
actually lay the plate emulsion-side down on the paper, do you? Surely you
lay it down with the emulsion side not touching the platinum covered
paper?
