Digital BW, The Print

Once you cut the paper (as I also have done) it's even easier to see the curl (as described below) on the smaller sheet. You can try to maintain the cut sheets all with the same orientation, but I've found that to be a level of concentration which often eludes me.

As Darlene also wrote, a light mark on the backside can be used. I do that at times.

It's not always easy to tell, but I hold the sheet with the middle on the side of my hand (like a knife edge or fulcrum) & it will bend less when the print side is up.
