I sandwich them between several layers of kraft paper and put them in the hot press for a minute or two. The resulting print may have a bit of curl (like it is trying to roll into a cylinder) but no wavy edges. If the edges are not stuck down when mounting you may need a little higher heat setting or a little longer under pressure. Cheers!
