It’s taken about 3 years to get 4, and while the plan has always been to do them all, I can’t help but think that’s not really possible. I think I’d be content to get through the Moore films. Where are these being sold? Through Mann's site? I can't seem to get a straight answer. private commission ...

There’s no quick fix.
Just time.

That was my fear. Thanks!

eBay buy, probably. There is tons of listings that have photos of 10 year old (10 as an example) prints that look like they are lifting the books or other fairly heavy weights used to hold them “flat” for those photos. Would never buy one of those unless I thought it was an extremely good deal. Als...

If you aren't going to frame them then a few years should do the trick. I have something that still curls at the end after 18 months after being stored in a tube for 8 years.

Rub your peen gently along the entire thing for a year.

Sweet man thanks, I'll give that a try!

I think your idea indicating the last active date for users is excellent! I apologize, I should have been more specific on the add art function. I think part of my frustration is the timing it takes for approval and adding to the site. I have a couple of pending pieces in que now. I'd also like a si...

I would like to see old inactive profiles be deleted or removed after so many years without activity. It's frustrating seeing old for sale prints that are void, or go without response. I would also like to see it become easier to add art to the site.

Flat files are the way to go. Your best bet is to find something used through Facebook marketplace or craigslist. I found a 12 drawer wood flat file for $400, but I have seen them go for as low as $50.

Wow, these are some solid frame ups on this thread.
