Screen print damage, by RBK on May 2, 2011 1:10:12 GMT 1, I sold a print that got a bit damaged during transit. It was then returned to me. I'm convinced the shipping tube was opened en route to the buyer and whoever handled the print manhandled rolling it back up.
Fortunately the front of the print isn't in bad shape - except for one area. It's more the back.
Attached are some photos:

So my questions:
1. Has anyone successfully fixed minor creases? If so, what is the best way to do this?
2. Or other advice?

Print restorer will be able to sort that damage good as new imo. Not very expensive.
I have not had to use one, but there is a restorer regularly recomended on here - name escapes me. But someone will jump in with the details soon???

And I'm also wondering if I should have it restored, try to restore it myself, or sell as is and the buyer can have fixed? Thoughts/advice?

Screen print damage, by mrwyatt on May 5, 2011 23:27:03 GMT 1, yup that should be fine to get fixed. I recently bought a print off a forum member and through no fault of his own the print arrived creased much like yours (bloody royal mail sitting on it during their lunch breaks!) before going through the hassle of trying to claim insurance etc I took it to Graham. He looked at it and said it'll take 2 or 3 hours of his time and it'll be ready in a week or two. The creases wont be there when I pick it up! So dont fret go and find a reputable restorer.

Screen print damage, by RBK on May 10, 2011 20:50:58 GMT 1, Unfortunately not ABC. And I'm not sure how I'd go about proving it was damaged during transit as the shipping tube was fine. I'm 99.5% sure the print was taken out of the tube, and then extremely hastily rolled back up before delivery to the buyer. What an annoying experience. I just hope I can eat some of the loss I'm going to have to take.
