Helene,

I don't know about 'common wisdom'. The instructions from Epson on my pack
of Premium Glossy tell me to "Dry your printouts for a least 15 minutes and
put a sheet of plain paper or other absorbent paper between them to stack
them. For best results, dry your printouts for a full day".

Ron seems to be suggesting they should be dried for longer before being
mounted behind glass.
