Some general RC paper handling questions

[wogster]

Take them out of dark storage and display them for a year then assess them, you may see a big difference.

Your assuming that they were not displayed, some of them were, I had about 5 prints hanging on a wall for 10 years, and there was no real difference.

cut the paper before or after it doesn't really matter.
get yourself either a piece of plexiglass or glass
and a windshield wiper and squeegee the water off
your prints. hang them with clothespins
( it doesn't have to be reversed like ansel adams used to do )
any old clothes pin will do .. and hang it on a string by its corner to dry.

you can make a drying rack easily, 4 pieces of lathe from a lumber shop
and a staple gun to make a rectangle .. then get some screen, and staple that to
the square.

if you dry them on a screen - face up for rc prints, face down for fb...

have fun

Any flat clean surface will do if a sponge is used.
RC prints can be left on edge to dry. They will dry
fast. Why people go to such lengths? Dan
