I use fiber for most of my work since much of my output is for exhibition and sale through the galleries I work with. For this use RC doesn't make the grade - insofar as the relatively compressed tonal range. I do use RC for all of my workprints and snapshots, however, and love the timesaving! I dry my prints, face up, on clean newspaper (no, it won't transfer to the prints) after sponging or squeegi-ing them off. Today's papers will dry fairly flat (35 years ago they curled up into a cylinder sometimes). When dry, I pop them into a clean 180 degree drymount press for 60 seconds and then weight them under a porcelain enamel tray. Works wonders. Curt Elizabeth Mei Wong Henry Curtis Miller, M.P.A.
