[BKARTS] paper (and paste) properties

[David Lanning <dl@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Emma,

In Autumn 2000, we published an article in our newsletter 'Skin Deep'
titled 'About Paper Grain' by Richard P Grant.  Although not directly
related to your question, it does have a bearing on the subject.  It can be
found at http://www.hewit.com/sd10-pape.htm

I hope it helps,

best wishes,

David

> Note: there are three different kinds of paper--all of different weights
> (plus mat board). Even though the boards were dried under weight they
> started to curl/warp when I took them out. (They must not have been dry.)

> Other than waiting patiently for things to dry (and using equal weight
> paper), is there anything I can do to keep the final board flat?
