Has anyone got advice on uncurling prints done onto roll-paper through a

What I've done in the past is to hang them. I took a curtain rod and
put a bunch of those really cheap wire shower curtain clips on it. On
each clip I put a little spring clamp. Then I take some more of the
cheap shower curtain clips and put fishing weights (or similar) on them.
Hang the rod, attach one edge of the print to with the clamps, weight
the opposite edge with the weighted clamps, let it sit for a couple of
days.
That won't totally take the curl out, but it should tame it enough you
can work with the print to get it under a flat weight for the final phase.
I originally put the rig together to help uncurl negative strips, where
it works really well if you give the negs three or four days of hanging.
For prints, you'll probably need to put several of the weighted clamps
on, fairly close together, to prevent hinkiness in that bottom edge
after it's been hanging.
Yeah, the curl doesn't need to come out completely, just enough so I
can, for example, deliver unframed prints to clients.
Thanks for that suggestion, Doug!
