Bruce,
thanks...is there some "ripening" time that I should observe prior to framing? I'm a casual user so my prints may wait, in archival sleeves, for weeks or months prior to framing.
There doesn't appear to be such a time. It's too dependent on temperature and air movement (and somewhat surprisingly, not on relative humidity). Some people report that hanging the print "to dry" for a couple of days is enough. Others have reported "ghosting" on the inside of the frame's glazing even when the print was hanging in the studio from a drying line for six weeks prior to framing.
The archival sleeves probably prolong the agony -- they restrict air movement so the glycols and glycerins can't get away from the print. If they do manage to vaporize, they are reabsorbed into the print -- no where else to go. Better perhaps to use a clip to hang the print from a "clothesline" for a few days. Keep good records and you'll establish the dwell time that works best for you.
The joy of using a hand-held hair dryer, especially on smaller proof prints, is you immediately get to the final result. You don't have to guess where the shadows will end up, or how open the mid-tones are really going to become. Why guess when you can know?
