Kodak's blotter rolls used a single face corrugated
board with a length of blotter paper forming the second
face. I used and liked mine. Prints came out flat but
with the characteristic bend towards the emulsion.
Salthill, Burke & James and others offered corrugated
board stack dryers using BLOTTER PAPER. I've updated
the old corrugated board stack dryer by using a special
ventilator grade corrugated board in conjunction with
non-woven synthetic fiber separators.
The result is a print dryer which is Very inexpensive,
Compact, Ultra light weight, and easily stowable. It
leaves prints dry and Flat. Dan
That sounds like a good idea. Now that you remind me I
do remember very large dryers using blotter stacks, was this
a Kodak machine?
