Cover with brown paper and iron it on medium for a few seconds on a super flat hard surface like a granite worktop. Or pay a restoration company a few hundred ยฃ to do a similar thing.
I did this on my Friendly Fire with half a dozen small creases now they are un noticable. Just dont leave iron on too long or use too high a temp.

Crease in a Print, by Harveyn on Mar 16, 2008 11:00:27 GMT 1, Boil water and condense the steam into a container.
One word of warning. I have down this 3 or 4 times but on one occasion the particular type of paper did not like water and the result was worse than the original crease.
