Here are our tips to flatten your prints safely:

1. Before you start unrolling, stop and make sure your hands and the surface area you’re working on are clean.

2. When handling your Print, only touch the edges – keep your fingers away from the main part of the image! If you have it, place a piece of smooth paper on your working area that’s bigger than your Print. (If you don’t have a piece of paper, that’s okay! It’s just an extra layer of protection.)

3. Carefully place the Print image-side down on your smooth paper or clean workspace and begin to unroll. You want to be gentle so you don’t accidentally crease your Print.

4. When your Print is fully face down, take some smooth, flat, heavy objects (i.e. books) and place them on the ends and even the middle of your Print. Let it sit overnight!

5. Once it’s been 24 hours, check your Print. If it’s still not laying flat, put your heavy objects back on it for a couple more hours. And that’s it! Your Print is now ready for hanging or framing.
