[QUOTE="blooey, post: 1135955, member: 12007"]Simple water stains can easily be removed by re-wetting the entire piece. You will need a tank or large tray to do that. That is the easy part- the water stain will disappear. Drying the piece afterwards can be a challenge as it will want to curl and warp. If you do it yourself you will need many blotters much larger than the print and a weight e.g. sheet of glass. On a flat surface, lay the wet print on several sheets of blotter, then more again on top of it and finally the weight. Change blotters every 3 to 4 hours for 12-24 hours and you'll be ok. This technique should only be done with colourfast inks and at your own risk! :jawdrop::arghh::([/QUOTE]
