Advice on print, by Patta1 on Apr 27, 2013 16:27:23 GMT 1, Hi I have a few prints which have been stored In Tubes for around two weeks and was wondering how to go about getting this into my portfolio they seem to be very curled up at the moment can I put them straight in or do these have to be left to un roll naturally any help would be great thanks

Let them uncurl naturally ensuring that you keep them in a safe place with protective tissue placed over to prevent bits & pieces or dust from settling on top - you should see it settle after a few days. At this stage place a piece of mount card (or similar) over the print to apply an additional even pressure across the print further helping it settle. I would then leave this for a good week or two before thinking about putting it into a portfolio. All prints will react differently and this process may take longer or shorter.

I've taken it out the tube it has been nearly a week and I don't see any change in it yet still the same but the print was not tightly rolled when received shall I know place it between two mount boards and apply some pressure ? Thanks

unroll it from left to right gently, or vice versa.
Just the once then leave it foray or a few days.
the time it takes is both dependent on the type of paper or card along with the tightness of roll , not to mention the duration that it was rolled.
placing it between boards is a common route for many though this has its pitfalls, ie when you have it framed you may see a wave effect / ripple ..in the image. (Framing is another subject)
to alleviate this you'd need to have the work attached to preservation card effectively flattening the work for ever 
above all keep your calm , crinking (damage via crease) a print is something we've all done !!! makes for a bad day.

You can't really be advising the use of dry mounting surely?

Mount / afix , using preservation materials to card a reversible process.
Not dry mount....alas.
