I've had fair luck getting them dried. As I said before, after rinsing
them in cold running water I pat the emulsion side dry with paper towels
and let the print set (back side down) on a couple layers of paper
towel. After they've been setting there for 10-15 minutes I blot the
front surface again (because more water has mysteriously appeared) and
lay the prints face down on a sheet of waxed paper. I then place three
layers of paper towel on the back and build up a stack of print layers.
Then I press the stack down with a couple of thin books and let it dry
overnight or longer.
What comes out afterward feels very slightly damp but soon air dries
(with a curl of course)
