great video, thanks.

If you want to avoid warpage from the paper then you can preshrink the paper before you use it.

To preshrink, take a sheet of paper and clip it to a string like a bedsheet on a close line. Then mist spray the paper with water from a spray bottle. Let it dry then repeat. The paper should not shrink after it dries the second time. It will be stable and ready to use.
