I think it is auto insured for $200 and can be covered up to $5k.

Saw this on the Reeder Collectors page. :shock:

Should spoon out just fine.

Someone suggested Poster Mountain. I would love to see this challenge accepted. :rolling:

Actually I just had Poster Moutain flatten a print damaged like that
After they finished , It looked perfect on the back , but there were still cracks in the ink
on the worst creases on the print , but really , it looked almost perfect , This print has hope for it

Really??!? Thats amazing and great to hear!

I assume if you moisten it up enough without harming the inks, you can get it to flatten out, but I would assume you could never get it back to "mint".

What did something like that cost?

Here are the Hello Kitty before and after photos . :pint:
Poster mountain charged me $150 and $60 fedex flat shipping , They said they couldn't fix where there was broken ink
but it seems like it sort of melted some of the ink back together during pressing. . They just "flattened" it they said, and I don't think it was soaked in a solution . I also sent another very wavy print that came back perfect .
I already sold the print , and the paper was supple and normal and rolled up as usual. I unrolled it twice to check and make sure it wasn't damaged (again)! Note: Hello Kitty is a varied color surface print which hides flaws very well ...a even flat color print would not look as good as this print after flattening ...Thanks Poster mountain !

That level of work by Poster Mountain usually leaves a print a little bigger than when it started. That said, it is worth doing for things that are seriously F'd up. I think I've sent 5 prints their way and was never disappointed. I had a thread with before and after pics...somewhere.

Yes Thanks, your previous post inspired me to send the Kitty print to them ,
It didnt seem larger whem it came back , but the back had a softer surface texture . I think just a heat press was used.
really impressive work ! its surprising how it seemed to mend the paper ... yay! :hanging:
