Another thing that we'll show you here just quickly is if you notice the print has been
quite badly creased, rolled up and somebody sat on it so there is quite a lot of creases
running through the print. Again, the machine is going to flatten this out quite considerably.
So again we've got the board, dry-mounting tissue, the print and clear silicone release
film over the top; making sure that everything's inside the press. We'll close the lid down,
put the latches on, switch the pump on and again you'll notice in here that the air will
be extracted out, the print will flatten itself out.
Unfortunately if there are any marks on the surface of the print where the ink is actually
split and you've got the white fibres of the paper coming up and showing through; there's
not a great deal that the machine will do about that because it's actually the ink that's
split rather than the paper that's been creased. So, we're going to leave that in there for
a couple of minutes. That will flatten itself out and come out, hopefully. I expect it to
be nice and flat. So, we've left it in there for a couple of
minutes. We'll switch the pump off, undo the latches, lift the lid up; just pull it, again
it's that static that's pulling that up and if I pull back the release liner, you'll notice
that that's now very flat, much better than it was when it was first brought into the
shop.
