427Impaler 869 posts Posted November 3 (edited) I’ve been working on ways to remove age yellowing/tanning without fading ink or doing damage to the paper. After playing around with the current methods; bleaching, UV exposure, etc, I think I may have found a solution. Still testing things but so far no PH issues and seems color fast on everything.

427Impaler 869 posts Posted November 3 It is a proprietary process currently, doing testing on several hundred covers and some post process testing to ensure there is no structural damage. The nice part is it seems to really improve the ink, which is the opposite of most other processes. As the paper moves from yellow to brown the effectiveness is lessened. Basically once the damage (brittleness) starts there is limited repair. I can tell you the process would land the book in conserved category as it is done in conjunction with de-acidification These pics are of a book that had become two fold brittle at the top 2 1 Get Marwood & I, tv horror and Krismusic reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
