Almost 10 years after upload this is just the right video I need right now. I'll let you know how my first fibre prints turned out on the OMS discord!

Hey Mat, it's Hunter.
I have a quick tip for removing the curl after the first drying method you showed. If you have a dry mount press, or this would probably work with books (I haven't tried), but right before it is completely dry, press it, and it flattens like a board.

Put them on the glass by picture up, stick them all around by paper tape, they will be nice flat 100%. Or put them anywhere, once they will be dry, but not flat.

Hello Mat. I dry my fiber prints in the plastic mosquito net, but upside-down. They dry almost completely flat.

[@beantown_billy2405]

This is the way. Everyone's afraid it'll leave the screen pattern on the print, but it most certainly does not.

@Trevor Benjamin Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now.
Takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@shepherdaiden7194]

@Trevor Benjamin It worked and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thanks so much, you saved my account!

I'm was searching to see if anyone else every put fabric softener in the washing stage of FB prints. I did and it seemed to cut down curling alot. Anyways I'm djgeorgie on flickr, I'm actually posting about the fabric softener topic right now.
Check out my youtube channel, almost all of my vids are about film photography. You guys at FPP inspired me to get back into film photography 247.
