Re: curling corner woes

Thanks for the thought.  I'll try keeping my Bamboo in a plastic bag.  

By the way, other brands (I'm still experimenting with papers) don't curl: only Hannemuhle does.

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.

I use Hahnemuhle Bamboo and the corners also turn up.  Before inserting into my Epson 3800 I actually bend the corners back down -- specially the leadi se I often get head strikes on these corners.

 

Maybe we can write a joint letter to Hahnemuhle for "assistance".  Anyone else care to join? soNormal>
