newshane 4,958 posts Posted January 12, 2019 I won't get into a who is better debate, but she is among the most respected and experienced in the world when it comes to comic restoration and pressing. 2 Darkowl and RockMyAmadeus reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bomber-Bob 11,827 posts Posted January 12, 2019 Do we really have to get into this discussion again ? I think the OP is baiting here. Kudos threads for pressing services are frowned upon by our host. Can't we just respect that . Personally, I think Guido's has the BEST pressing services. Fast turnaround too ! 2 The Lions Den and Tony S reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, but who cares. 'I think Bob is going to get in trouble hehe...' You are probably right. Bob seems to be getting into a lot of trouble lately.

Whoever it was decided to cut his teeth on a $500+ books. Yikes, thats their "after" shot? Based on the texture of the cover it looks like they used a gerber fullback as the platen buffer directly on the book. Heat obviously too high. Looks like they steamed it instead of humidified on a book that doesn't require (shouldn't have) either. Either didn't have the right press or didn't press it long enough, or both. Revivable though right? Edited January 22, 2019 by comicquant Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joeypost 22,933 posts Posted January 22, 2019 Here is what the inside of the book looks like. Each page look like this. With the exception of actually burning the book, everything bad you can do to a book by pressing it improperly, was done to this book. 3 Mystafo, I like pie and Tony S reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
