Hmmm...maybe some thin interleaving would help - which I could save and use for each batch? And perhaps go the extra mile by sliding a thin sheet of something like aluminum (as a weight) on top of the batch in the paper safe...which I'd remove for each printing session? Kind of a PITA maybe, but then again...
Curling has never presented any problem for me. In fact, it makes it easy to identify the emulsion side in the dark. My easel handles the curl without issues, and one the paper is wet, it is a moot point.
