I gave two methods. One is to lay them face down on a drying frame (window screen stapled to a wood or other support). Alternately, and this is what I usually end up doing, is to lay them face down on a towel, then cover them with a towel. It is an overnight process to dry them this way, but they dry flat, and I have never had any problems with emulsion damage. I have occassionally had marks on the prints from drying screens. Unfortunately, if the print is laid face up on the screen to avoid marks, the print curls up into a nice tight little roll as it dries.
