Final Drying

When drying heavier weight papers you may experience some bleeding of strong blacks from the image into white areas of print or outside of black boarders. If this happens, your screwed! Once this happens there is nothing you can do to remove the problem. Therefore, use good quality blotters with no lint to blot out as much excess water as possible before you put print on drying rack or hang up to dry. Remember to handle print carefully as you do this.
