I tried spray starch, it makes the paper way too wet and you get
wrinkling. I also tried it on heavy stock (90#) but same problem. I
also tried ironing the paper but that just made a mess.
I thought that maybe a photo dryer might work but I dont have access
to one. I recall seeing one when I was a kid - it was a smooth drum
that spun and pressed large glossies flat )er, curved) while they
dried. How do paper manufacturers get paper to come out so smooth?
Wallpaper might work though the stuff I looked at seemed kind of
rough on the glue side. I have to admit to some trepidation in
jamming that stuff through a laser printer.
