I tried this using what I think is a similar eraser on a small part of my chub-rubbed Drive. I can't see that it made any difference, so I gave up. I'm not sure what you're doing different, but it looks good in the photos.
Highly disagree. I also used this a long time ago on the same print, and if anything it was worse. Use caution.finalfilppula wrote:

Great job, what a deft touch and percise hand you have.

My gum eraser became my best friend when I got in to collecting prints. Great to put this out there, it works very well on most anything, but you definitely have to be careful and not rough or you will accidentally remove paint.

Anyone care to explain the process a little more in depth?
Is the idea that you are removing the scuff, or moving the black ink around to cover the scuff?
I have a print I want to try this on, but I'm a little reluctant at this point.
Thanks in advance.

I was once told by an artist to get the softest paint brush they make and with it DRY, rub in gentle circles to move he ink around. It's worked on several black and grey prints I've received with scuffs.
I've never tried this eraser technique ... looks like it might work for deeper scuffs. Thanks for sharing sixstringer.

I am actually not rubbing or swirling but rather tapping the print to lift the scuff marks out. It only works on screen prints not giclee. The eraser has to be pretty tacky for it to work.

Just to be clear, I should avoid using a dry cleaning pad on a small chub lines? I just don't want to make anything worse than it is.

I can see where you're coming from, as it did leave a splotchy residue on One print—but just that one. Otherwise, it's been perfect for me. Will give that kneadable eraser a try, though.KSUvet wrote: Highly disagree. I also used this a long time ago on the same print, and if anything it was worse. Use caution.

Anyone know a method which works, or has had success, for removing linear scuffs on a giclee?

Sorry, no advice to offer for help for giclee scuffs. However, NEVER use the kneadable eraser trick on giclees, it can destroy them.appletree wrote:Anyone know a method which works, or has had success, for removing linear scuffs on a giclee?

That was some great advice though. Happy I went back to this thread before trying anything stupid. May have to send it off to Poster Mountain.

This technique worked really well. I didnt have a gum eraser but I used poster tac instead, and I'm really happy with how my print turned out. I had an extra print around with lots of damage, so I was able to try it out first. I think that the brush made the most difference tho and I would recommend that to anyone first.pewter14 wrote:

So, this question is really stupid, but has anyone used any other kind of kneadable eraser? Or should I stick with the Derwent (specifically the blue).
DOES IT MATTER??
