Flat plate and bagged "lead" shot.
Stainless Steel
I regret not buying one
However I dry my FB on clean screens
Then in my Hot Press
But I am moving to RC
I like RC
I have used several methods. A heavy steel baking sheet like ones used for pizza (I put the prints face-down on a sheet of acrylic so the steel does not come into contact with the image). Or, simpler yet, put the prints back in the dry mount press for a while once it has cooled. I have also put a stack of prints, sandwiched between 1/4" acrylic, on a table under a stack of a half-dozen large, heavy art books for a day or so.
All those oversized photography books we own come in handy for keeping prints flat under matboards. I also have used a spiral bound watercolor paper book to sandwich 11x14 and smaller prints or a larger 24x30 recycled paper book (plain news paper) after the press. The paper seems to absorb any additional moisture from the print as well as protect the prints until I am ready to file or mount them.
