That's interesting. I suppose the sheet of plain paper draws the gases out. I'll have to try it. I usually let the prints sit in the air for a day or two, then they're stacked and in a box, often for a while, before I put them into mounts and framing for an exhibit. Definitely takes a day or two for them to fully dry down.
