Need some help. How to get "Wrinkles" out of Posters???

[Blayze]

I have Special Edition posters of Star Wars, Empire, and Return along with the movie poster for Episode 1.

It has gotten real hot in our house this summer since our A/C unit in the house died. I was looking up at my posters the other day and notice that they looked wrinkled in the frames.

I took the empire poster out of the frame and sure enough it does look wrinkled.

Its not folded or anything it just looks wavy, and I think it has come from the summer heat.

Is there anyway I can make these posters non-wrinkled/flat again?

Take it to a BluePrint shop, they can take out just about any wrinkle, fold, crease, whatever out of anything.

I might do that, but I was wondering if there is anything I could try at home?

Try a warm iron. A little bit of steam might also help. I used this to flatten out old and wrinkled currency.

I was thinking about the iron thing, but I don't want to burn them or anything

If you use a good iron you will not burn the paper. Try it out on similar paper first and see if you are happy with the results. Worked for me

thanks, Im not sure what iron we have but I'll give it a try tommorow.

I think if I go quickly over the paper and don't wait to long on it, I want have any problems.

I hope it takes the wrinkles out, cause they look bad the way they are.



also what setting should I try on the iron?

A place that makes blueprints.

well, why not put the poster under a tshirt and iron or something like that?

that could work as well! And the risks would be cut down on messing up.
