Letseatchairs Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 I'm really happy because the ones I want I can go pick up and I don't have to pay $15 for shipping haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stranaspank Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I'm sure this has been explained ad nauseum in this thread, but I'm lazy. I have a couple prints that have been in tubes for about 2 years and I need to start flattening them. I was going to go to Michael's and buy a couple big pieces of foam board to sandwich the prints and keep it tight with clips. I imagine I should put some sort of paper or protection between the print and the foam board, but what? How long do I need to flatten it? A month? Any and all sagely flattening advice is much appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Avatar Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 the longer you flatten the better, but that's all I know about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Letseatchairs Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 wait how do you flatten posters? literally all but like 4 of mine are rolled up and I want to frame them. some are big and I don't have space to lay a bunch of posters all over the place do i just cover them with books? i'm really curious because I didn't know I had to flatten them first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I just lay them on the floor somewhere out of the way and put a book on each corner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

batman Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 foamcore board. it'll cost a bit up front, but then you'll always have it. I stack 3-4 of them and have (sometimes multiple) posters in every space. if I get something new, i'll put some books on top to weigh it down initially, otherwise I store my stack under a futon in my spare bedroom. I've been slowly working through my "to-frame" stack. down to just harlequinade (which I just received) and JC Richard's batcave which is gonna require a custom job ($$$)...

stranaspank Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Do you put anything between the foam and the printed side? I worried that because the posters are screenprinted that maybe some of the ink will come off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I worried that because the posters are screenprinted that maybe some of the ink will come off. nah I haven't messed with it. if there's kraft paper or tissue, sometimes i'll just leave it there, but I've never experienced any of the ink bleeding. maybe in extreme heat.

Team Avatar Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I have so many posters I need to flatten. I've been able to curb my enthusiasm when it comes to purchasing posters, and have some I need to get rid of too, but ugh! I'm constantly moving so I don't want to take them out of tubes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirrichardrichard Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 I'm looking to sell my Obey Giant / Shepard Fairey - Keith Morris 4 - colour screenprint. It's signed by Shepard, Keith Morris, and Glen E. Friedman. Original Price was 75 - it's going to cost me 20 to ship to North America - so how about 85 shipped? PM me if interested. Had a bite, but couldn't close the deal.... I'll lower it to 75 shipped. Less than original price. Get it out of my basement and onto your wall!

elnombre91 Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 I flattened mine by framing it... Worked well enough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Avatar Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 you have to be careful doing that - the poster can permanently bubble or crack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timbrh2001 Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Do you put anything between the foam and the printed side? I worried that because the posters are screenprinted that maybe some of the ink will come off. No, that's why you buy acid free foam core. Once you're done flattening, you can also use that same foam board as professional backing to your frame up (assuming you're gonna DIY it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timbrh2001 Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 I flattened mine by framing it... Worked well enough? Typically prints that arent flattened first before being framed will get wavy over time. Not always the case but something you should definitely take caution to prevent before framing up anything. Also, the longer your prints stay in tubes, the longer time they take to flatten. Again, not an absolute but a general rule of thumb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
