Does anyone have some helpful technique for flattening Epson Premium Glossy roll paper after printing. Criminy that stuff is stiff! I've wasted too much time googling the subject, and figured I'd just come to the source of all knowledge photographic.

    I leave it out on a flat desk for about two days and let gravity take care of itself. It works for me at least.

    Once dry I simply reverse roll it on a tube.

    Use tissue paper if you want and treat it just like a poster.

    Have you tried this? SEARCH:4" rel="nofollow">Flatten... Works with 24" Epson rolls. 4 or 5 hours rolled. I don't know of any other method to flatten a rolled image but it works so no other way is needed.

    Thanks!
    I don't care if you guys on the east side of the pond DO speak a foreign language :D even I could understand that. What a great idea. I'm going to fabricate one of those tonight. On second thought, I'll make a few of them! Usually what happens is that every available flat surface in my home is covered up with curly paper as I try to flatten prints after a printing session. This will keep SWMBO much happier!
