There were other papers in the mix that were mostly used to get the print in registration before hitting the watercolor sheets and those ones definitely did get wavy and warped. I also threw in a couple pieces of a toothy, cottony Somerset paper and it worked, so I would recommend something like that. Something with some cotton in it, if not watercolor paper.

We just tried to screen print on top of tea stained paper and it didn't work at all. The valleys in the paper's waves didn't come into contact with the screen. So your print is both awesome and magical! Did your paper get wavy at all after you put watercolors on it? We just tried to screen print on top of tea stained paper and it didn’t work at all.
