Crease in FB print.

[Mike Kennedy]

One of my older FB prints has a nasty crease across the center.I spent a lot of time on this 11x17 solarized piece and would like to remove this offending distraction.
Suggestions?

Try steaming it out(one of those clothes steamers). If you have a flat bed print dryer that will handle that size,wet the print and re-dry. Get as much of the crease out and mat immediatly.
All I have to offer.

Sometimes it's possible to rewash the print and gently tease out the crease from the back. Other times a good steaming first then try teasing flat. Re-wash, dry and flatten between two bits of card in a dry-mounting press.

how is a crease caused?

does this happen when the paper is real wet and a portion folds over?

 

[Mike Kennedy]

The crease was caused by my misuse of a squeegee.I forgot that wet FB paper is far softer than wet RC.The print must not have been entirely flat on the surface I was working on.
