50yrs ago Dad did his own developing & printing.  He had a print dryer.
It was basicaly a large shallow box, say 2'x2'x6", with a smooth,
slightly curved polished steel lid.  He put the prints face down and
pulled a cloth tight over the top.  The heating elements were some light
bulbs as I recall.  I think you could probably use a low iron, face-up
on a flat surface, like the surface of an appliance, washer/dryer.
