Blotter material has exited my life forever. Fiber base paper, according to conventional wisdom, must be air dried on screens. Photo blotter sheets are permissible, too, but even more of a bother. Screens are prone to depositing dust or lint on the print face, and they are prone to contamination without indication. Constant cleaning and monitoring are essential.
Screens embed dust particles in the wet and tacky face of the print.
Drying in screens takes place with the sheet horizontal. Water or moisture or wetness or dampness tend to pool near the center, and the edges dry sooner. A dread, primitive, vicious tool. Before laying it on a screen, squash the water out of the sheet. Careful, now, we'd like to apply a little more squeegee pressure in the center of the sheet than at the edges, so center and edge can dry in approximately the same time.
