When you do manage to get the tape off there will probably still be some adhesive left on the paper unless it completely rips. There are safe acid free solutions that you can dab on a towel and gently remove whats left that wont discolor your paper.

Have you tried this? What solution? Sounds risky.Sithlord32 wrote:When you do manage to get the tape off there will probably still be some adhesive left on the paper unless it completely rips.

Yes I did it myself with a solution that is sold to frame shops. You cannot buy this on the market to my knowledge unless you are a professional framer but he had suggested and had on hand go gone extreme. Its has the same elements. Im sure there are others that are available to the public.Have you tried this? What solution? Sounds risky.

Step-by-step DIY tape removal instructions courtesy of Poster Mountain. I haven't tried this yet myself so I can't comment on its effectiveness or safety.

I would send it to PM since it would save me the rage that would follow me damaging the print. I doubt it would cost a lot.

Take a picture of the damaged/taped area and send it to them, they got back to me quickly with a quote. I think that they only ship back flat, so shipping would run a little higher than normal.sidaldo wrote:How much do these guys charge?ToolFanFromWayBack wrote:Poster mountain http://forum.expressobeans.com/viewtopi ... =3&t=89727sidaldo wrote:Does anyone hear have a solution to removing regular tape from a print without causing any damage?

They may send back rolled if they are not flattening it. I believe they require flat shipping on flattened items because the bends/rolls can come back if rolled again.jettad wrote:Take a picture of the damaged/taped area and send it to them, they got back to me quickly with a quote.
