Creases, by arcam on Apr 16, 2007 10:51:13 GMT 1, Do prints often arrive with them?
I received a print today and it has a slight crease on one corner. You have to look really hard to see it and its only visible on the border not the print itself. I am a tad upset considering it was a replacement for a print that was slighly faulty. Can't decide whether it's worth mentioning as the print didn't cost much.

Creases, by Andy'77 on Apr 17, 2007 9:26:01 GMT 1, The Flags I bought on ebay arrived with a crease in, after a long discussion with the seller, trying to get a discount, he would only give a full refund. I decided to keep the print as it was a good price, just means I need to hang it somewhere light doesn't reflect against. Other than that I've been lucky.

gentรacardi on Apr 17, 2007 9:30:00 GMT 1, My signed (okay, autographed) Damien Hirst poster came with the edges all creasy Which was kinda unexpected too, 'cos Other Criteria packed it really well - they even had sponges inserted at each end of the tube so that if the poster shifted during handling, they'd get a soft landing. It was wrapped very well too.
Also, my Sgt. Peppers Lonely Bastards print from Pure Evil also came with a small crease at the corner. Both received today. I'm not exactly having a lucky day, am I?

Creases, by snakes on Apr 28, 2007 23:42:48 GMT 1, It may sound odd but here is a wee tip for removing creases on corners or where ever (as long as not on a blind stamp) and i have not tried this method over printed areas, so here are; 1. Wet a cotton bud. 2. Dab the crease so that it absorbs the moisture ( a few times, but do not rub) 3. Iron out the crease (empty iron of all water and turn off steam) and place print within 2 sheets od paper (1 each side) (just incase iron is dirty or whatnot so not to much up print, always best 2 have print facing down too). 4. This process may have to be repeated a couple of times but actually works! If in doubt practice this on a blank that you have created a crease on.

I don't know what you're talking about.
