So I dried the fibre paper thing off and pressed it for a couple of days in the garage using my bespoke pressing apparatus - a couple of bits of melamine-covered chipboard on top of which I place a very old and heavy Sony CD player once belonging to my Uncle and a similiarly heavy socket set from the days when I used to mess about under cars - long gone I can tell you. Anyway, it seems to work OK for after a couple of days the prints are fairly flat.
After all that, I decided to immerse the print in some H2O and then bleach it and finally sepia tone it. After another round of drying and flattening it came out looking like this:
Not quite sure it was worth the effort, to be honest...
