Many years ago one could purchase flattening plates for use in conjunction with dry mount presses. The flattening plate was the same size as the press and was about 1/4in thick. Placing it on top of a recently mounted image kept it flat until it was cool. Perhaps something like that could be used to keep the paper flattened until it was ready to use. I suspect the problem is one of evaporation of moisture from the edges of the stack of paper similar to the same effect with gelatin-silver print paper. Just a thought.

Before inserting into my Epson 3800 I actually bend the corners back down -- specially the leading corners. Otherwise I often get head strikes on these corners. Maybe we can write a joint letter to Hahnemuhle for "assistance". Anyone else care to join? -yoram |
