Good point. Make sure the prints aren't wet before putting into the press. I
mean they should not be tacky or anything. Good old photo blotter paper a
larger piece of mat board than the print and not too much pressure and
you'll be fine. Haven't ever had any problems with this old photo technique.
Now if you have a 44x100" sheet this is a different story all together.
I would go for a roll of blotter paper and maybe large 8ply acid-free matt
board instead of the brown paper. That should give some weight and still
allow for some breathing.
