The 64,000 dollar question.....again, by dmf on Apr 7, 2010 1:54:24 GMT 1, I have a print that i have had for sometime and its in a sorry old state...warped here, warped there, ripples etc.
I know this question has been asked before but is there any treatment that can be done to totally flatten it again?
I think i read something on the web about a professional service that wet the print and re-dry it flat to perfection but i might have dreamed it! or some sort of restoration.
Any professional services within the south of England that people could point me in the direction of would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
DMF

The 64,000 dollar question.....again, by They call me Stephen on Apr 7, 2010 2:00:53 GMT 1, Worth getting in touch with Graham Bignell dmf....he can work wonders with most kinds of paper damage.

I guess it depends on the value of the print but I am not sure if I would personally try any home ironning/wetting methods.

The 64,000 dollar question.....again, by dmf on Apr 7, 2010 16:23:35 GMT 1, Met Graham at his workshop in Hoxton. Very nice guy. He took one look at it and said 'easy peasy!'
The other thing i noticed was a lot of 'don't panic' folder posters all over the place!! Obviously being restored from the folds!
I'll let you know how it goes 
Thanks to everyone for recommending him!!

I imagine there's good money to be made on ebay turning folded ones into unfolded ones if you are a paper restorer! - perhaps it was this Graham bloke removing box-fulls at a time...
