Banksy Flags query.., by sanchorockin78 on Sept 15, 2015 11:08:39 GMT 1, Greetings all, long time member first time in ages message poster!
I have a couple of Banksy Flags and am looking to part with one. It is unfortunately, as a good many of these are unless immediately framed ( or stored better than mine ), subject to a few creases , none particularly bad but as you can see, by no means perfect and pristine.
I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions or indeed if you have sent yours to Graham Bignall to work his magic, if such a thing is possible with chromalux paper?
Thanks as always for any input.

Banksy Flags query.., by Dungle on Sept 15, 2015 16:07:25 GMT 1, He fixed a flags of mine that had been dry mounted and it came back mint. However he was very uneasy about working on it as he'd never demounted a drymounted one. He was amazed at the end result, as was I.
Not sure what he could do for creases though, and taking into account how much it would cost (£350 - £500) is it really worth it?

My understanding is that he is reluctant to touch the face of this print.

Banksy Flags query.., by European Bob on Sept 15, 2015 19:39:48 GMT 1, when I had my flags it had a very bad crease where the glass had smashed. I took it to mr Bignall and he said there wasn't much he could do due to the paper.
think it is the nature of the print with this one, would love to own again even with the marks

Thanks for the info guys, much appreciated!!
As you say dungle £350 to £500 is a good bet for cost of work and not even sure what Graham could do with the creasing given the properties of the chromalux paper. I may let the print relax and frame it up anyway to see how pronounced these look, as it looks even worse from an angled light source / reflection.

Those can be fixed, not a print to keep on the folder

It's not entirely crease free. One minor one, right-hand side and another much smaller one top, right edge in the silver margin. I'm taking it to Gary tomorrow. Should have it back in a week or so. Here's another picture.
