Maximum.. works really well if you have a crease in Rude Coppers helmet

I left the iron on too long. Think anyone will notice? ;D

[BunnyBoiler]

you sure an iron would work. did you put anything in between it and the print?

BunnyBoiler,

If your print is of any significant financial or sentimental value, then I would strongly advise getting the fold mark dealt with professionally. Different types of paper can react in very different ways to the same treatment.

Speak to your local framer for their recommendations. You can also obtain additional information on the internet (for example, by Googling "paper restoration").

Using an iron may have worked once for nuart. In my humble opinion, however, that is simply asking for trouble.

Good luck.

Don't worry. i am still looking for a restorers

let me know if you find a good restorer as i have found a signed Have a Nice Day that has a tear in the picture and has become nicotine stained due to sitting on some ones mantlepiece without a frame.

The hole was courtesy of the Royal mail but i thought if i can save it, it could be worth me buying it at a cheap price as i love the image ....

I just got my print back from the restorers. He did an amazing job.

It was bad. They were noticeable and long... now all gone. cost 55+vat.

not too expensive considering the value it adds to the print. might give him a jingle. i wonder if he can do anything with stains!
