Does Pressing Remove Fingerprints? 0

[Karl Liebl]

NOPE.  Look at this filthy book!

 

it got a 9.6.  I am fine with that because there is tiny spine damage.

41 year old book,,, pressed by CCS... no fingerprints allowed!

What exactly is this cleaning feature of pressing if it cant take off invisible fingerprints?

[comicquant]

Fingerprints are typically set with oils from the skin (or other external sources) which affect the paper fiber.  Similar to water damage, they cannot be removed by dry cleaning.

I'll give you 50 bucks if you can find the fingerprint without a black light!

41 year old book bought at 7/11, should i sue the company for touching it when they put it in the circular rack of doom?  Maybe it was the clerk when I paid for it?  Civil lawsuit... or maybe it was my pimply 12 year old face!  Fried chicken dinner?

So, I saw this episode of Comic Book Men where they visit some rich guy and touch and smell his copy of first Superman, 700K down the drain right?

Insanity.

It's not a question of whether it's visible to the naked eye or not, the relevance is in the last 5 words of comicquant's sentence that I've quoted.

 What exactly are "invisible fingerprints"?  And how do you know they are there when they are invisible?

Sell that piece of trash and buy a slabbed 9.6 without invisible (invisible???) fingerprints.

Cleaning and pressing are two different things. Any (dry) cleaning work that pressers offer typically refers to removing minor surface dirt.

Also, there must not be much of a fingerprint if the book got a 9.6.

Exactly, the OP is lucky he still got a 9.6 AND he got a grader's note as to why !. Lots of newbies coming on lately complaining about their grades. I think a 9.6 for a late bronze book is an excellent grade. With today's submitters , it's 9.8 or bust.

Is this a trick question?

Here it is...

Disgusting. That invisible (invisible???) fingerprint is like a dagger through my soul. I don't know how you can stand it.

Pressing wont, but there are techniques that can remove most superficial stains and fingerprints.
