With some papers it may be necessary to press the paper as it dries. This necessary for papers that are likely to shrink or bow during the drying process such as nettle paper.
To dry press to must place the wet sheets of paper in between sheets of corrugated card (this can be found second hand at any store). These sandwiched sheets of paper can then be stacked and a weight placed on top (I've used a second hand bucket full of water). The weight press the paper whilst it dries to stop shrinkage. The cardboard pulls water water away from your paper, air can pass through the corrugated sections of this card and will dry it out, therefor drying out the paper sheets you've created.
