CLOSED, by met on Jul 25, 2018 18:49:04 GMT 1, Allouche rolled them vertically? How stupid??? Yes, they did. My meteor nights came same way. That seems logical and unsurprising:
1. Why would Allouche Gallery roll width-wise if it has the option โ including sufficiently-long, sturdy tubes โ to roll length-wise?
The flattening process will be quicker for the owner, since the print will be rolled upon itself less tightly. And in the event of an accident occurring after rolling (e.g. edges getting bashed on one side, or minor crushing at one end), the total surface area of the damage will be less than if the print had been rolled width-wise.
2. More importantly, in rolling length-wise, the gallery presumably took into consideration the direction of the grain of the paper. To reduce resistance and potential damage, it's preferable rolling parallel to the grain.
[If you picture the fibres of a paper sheet as miniature toothpicks laid flat in the same direction, rolling parallel to the toothpicks will be much easier than trying to roll in a perpendicular manner.]

Oddly enough the comment above about grain makes perfect sense. I can see small almost strains in the bottom right corner, not creases , but strains that looks like and issue with paper.

The direction rolled makes no difference to it's ability to flatten... but ALL paper should be rolled with the grain.
If anyone want to see the difference for themselves, simply try to gently (and loosely!) roll a print in both directions. You should feel that one way rolls easier then the other. NEVER roll a print in the more difficult direction!!
The difficulty to flatten may be the type or thickness of the paper... although no reason why it shouldn't flatten somehow.

Sorry if this was a confusing way to go about it. Seemed smarter than starting a new thread up.
Updated the first post with a KAWS print, Invader kit, and PichiAvo work on paper.
Iโve also got an older KAWS print from 1999 and Invader print from 2014 that I may be looking to sell. Please pm if anyone may be interested. I wont be posting these publicly.
