So my frankestein testprint i won in the MS fundraiser arrived today

and while i fully understand it is a testprint i wonder what i can do with this? it got 4 big tears in the middle of the image? is there anyway i could fix this or something?
or should i just recycle this for old paper
the fold in the middle doesn't really bug me, but 4 holes in the middle of the image?
i had bought test prints and mono prints before but never got something like this.

What's the best email to send pictures of your damaged print to for an estimate and/or whether or not they can fix the damage? Thanks.

http://www.postermountain.com/ And then, there, postermount@aol.com

While you can send pics and they can give you possible figures, depending in the damage, they will need to see it in person. To flatten creases, usually runs $75.00.

With that Frank, they would need to flatten it to get the middle crease out and to line it all up, then possibly airbrush the tears that do not line up after the flattening process. (Just assumptions of mine though. They have my ripped Mummy and that's what I experienced.)

Thanks, I tried that one a couple months or so ago but never heard back. Figured there was a better email, but I'll just try again.

Calling something a "test print" is really deceiving and should join the ranks with the word drymount.

What a test print hole.

I would be pissed if I got that as a test print. That print should be listed as dented, ripped, creased, test print. I don't give a fudge if it is for charity or not. Don't lie about what it is.

It was a prize, not something that was outright bought. You people are drymounting ridiculous.

When Sperry or many others release a test print it is literally a test, usually missing one of the colors.

A finished print that is destroyed isn't a test it's a reject. I would challenge Tong to explain what makes a damaged print a test.

The Frankenstein test prints were FREE...part of a prize pool for a MS fundraising raffle.

From the moment they were listed as prizes, they were represented accurately. For those folks that didn't take part in the raffle/fundraiser, I suggest you read the comment from graphicjim in finneganm's quote a few posts previous to this one.

Congrats on winning!
