Flattening Prints โข Creased, Folded, Rolled or Rippled , by Lord Lucas Roham on Nov 19, 2019 12:43:59 GMT 1, Thanks guys, I am sure it's fine, just got a little worried when I was moving a lamp and I saw the ripples. You can't in daylight though.

Nothing wrong with that in my opinion dude. I wouldnโt be worried personally. Echo this. Living, breathing paper. Enjoy it. I had this years ago in an old property, thankfully not on a Banksy print however it turned out to be caused by the (external) wall it was hung against to be too cold (it was in a spare bedroom that wasn't kept heated enough during the winter) I was advised to put some cardboard behind the frame or taped directly onto the wall behind it... I moved to a smaller place with central heating shortly afterwards so don't know if it worked. |

Flattening Prints โข Creased, Folded, Rolled or Rippled , by Red Barron on Nov 19, 2019 14:14:34 GMT 1, Iโve had same โrippleโ problem on multiple prints after an overseas move. It could have been the humidity of the container or be related to a cleaning product used on the glass afterwards rather than the suggested use of only warm water. Either way, I have shown pictures to a friendly gallery who said it is no big deal. If I ever get around to fixing them, Iโll post the before and after pics here.

Flattening Prints โข Creased, Folded, Rolled or Rippled , by rinz on Feb 17, 2020 17:58:25 GMT 1, Hey guys. I've received this picture from Murmure Street.
I just took it out of the tube, and it seems like there are some kind of ripples in the paper - mostly in the lower left dark area. Is it normal, that there are ripples just after i take it out of tube?

Your best bet is to look up the conservators guild and locate a paper restoration person near you.
Contact them have a chat - advise them of your req .. get in the car ...& drop your work off.
Yeah it'll cost you - but nothing is free , right ? Your work is valuable and doing something to the print yourself is a pain you can handle ? no.. ! I'd have thought not.
cheers

Googling didnโt return much help and several phone calls to local galleries didnโt throw up any names. Iโm out of the country and have a family member volunteering to help and I donโt want them to travel too far. Again thanks

Problem is asking a family member to take a day off to travel to London to deliver the print and a day off to pick up. I was hoping someone might know of a Graham Bignall equivalent in the Rugby/Northampton area. I will check your link and see what pops up. Really do appreciate your time, thank you

Flattening Prints โข Creased, Folded, Rolled or Rippled , by seamo on Jan 24, 2021 17:25:50 GMT 1, Hi all
Probably a stupid question
I have a few prints and have finally got round to removing from tubes
I have put some weights on the corners but the prints are quite wavy
Do I just leave it with weights on the corners or do I need to move the weights after a few days to a different section?
Thanks

The prints are best left to relax before unrolling. After relaxing they can be put between sheets of mdf or something similar with acid free board between so that the prints are not in contact with the mdf. Weights can then be put on top of the board to apply consistent weight. Be careful if the prints have blind stamps as this way of flattening can flatten the blind stamps also. A section cut from the inner board can help.

By just putting weights on the prints is never going to get them flat. There are several paper conservers and they have pressing methods. Whether itโs worth spending the money I am not sure.
I donโt know a lot about the methods they use but I am sure there will be members on here that will know more.

Leave for as long is required, job done
Not difficult or expensive
Edit: Iโve seen framers using the same method with glass before. A paper conserver will charge you handsomely and no doubt do the same thing

I have two zedsy prints that have been in tube for a while
I have laid them out on my air hockey table with a bit of acid free paper on top and now some reams of paper
