Stubborn Print: Refuses to Flatten, by angryboy on Feb 29, 2008 12:52:10 GMT 1, A couple of weeks ago I got my Hush Love/Hate out the tube it had been sat in for the past couple of months (moving house so couldn't get it out sooner). 2 weeks on it's just as tightly rolled as it was when I removed it, hasn't flattened at all.
Any favourite methods for flattening stubborn prints?

Stubborn Print: Refuses to Flatten, by angryboy on Feb 29, 2008 13:30:11 GMT 1, Currently I just left it curl up to see what would happen of it's own accord. Normally works fine for thinner prints. This is on really thick paper and then there's spraypaint as well as the screenprint and it just seems quite happy in its tubular shape.
Will try it upside don first then give something flat and heavy a go. I may have a frame lying about I can squash it in.

Stubborn Print: Refuses to Flatten, by Dellboyy on Feb 29, 2008 13:43:49 GMT 1, I use the packaging i got with my ian francis print, basically two very thick pieces of cardboard, then put a bit of weight on top... seems to work fine!

Stubborn Print: Refuses to Flatten, by curiousgeorge on Feb 29, 2008 14:10:13 GMT 1, I've found leaving the print to relax in a safe place for 7 days, then placing between mdf sheets(lined with acid free tissue paper), then i add 20kg weight plates on top. Perfect results everytime

Agree i've tried this option many times and after 7 days in a warm room using the method above will produce desired effect:)
