If you need a substantial quantity of that 300gsm blotter maybe go to Purcell Paper in Brixton for it, as that's the source. However Purcell only sell mill-packs, it will be cheaper but it's bulk buying.

I used to dry FB prints with the sticky tape method. I used carpet tape to tape the borders of the print to a large plane surface (I used an old window glass for that). The prints dry wonderfully flat. Only problem is you lose 1/2" at the borders because you need to cut the print out. (The carpet tape residues cannot be removed and they are not archival either.)
Nowadays I use a Delta 1 Blotter book, which also works sufficiently for my needs. However, one must take care not to put the prints in when they are still wet. They can be slightly damp, but there mustnīt be any water left on them. Otherwise, the blotters will be damaged. The blotters linked above are even cheaper! I would give them a try. |
