    Let them dry with the waves then dry mount them to backer matte board . Even photo spray adhesive from 3M works. For my 5x12 salt prints I trimmed and mounted them to a piece of heavy weight watercolor paper. The mounting process is critical if you feel you must have a flat print, otherwise your matte board window holds down the edges as long as compressed in the frame.
    The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

    Re: FB Paper wrinkles

    i print 11x14 fb with no wrinkles. i use a drum dryer set at a low temperature that takes about 15 minutes to dry. yes my prints out of the dryer has a curl n is still a bit wavy but once dry mounted in a dry mount press onto matt board, they are perfectly flat right to the edge.

    btw as soon as the mounted print comes out of the hot press, you must weight the mounted print till it cools... this is critical.


    your wrinkle problem starts at the initial drying process.
