Hey Saul, There really isn't any way for those "krinkles" to come out without drymounting the poster and, of course, we don’t do that to collectables. Often the krinkles have actually cracked the finish of the poster paper and even with drymounting they don't come out entirely. They are not just typically a part of the poster. "Ironing" posters doesn't work. I have had customers actually take an iron and put a thin piece of paper over the poster and the poster got too hot and burned. Even if you take a thin towel and place it over the poster, it just doesn't have enough pressure to do anything, not to mention that by adding heat to the paper you can cause more buckling or waviness, especially to the more modern poster. So, that's my two cents.

The poster arrived with the tubing crushed at the end. Luckily, it didn't FLATTEN the poster inside but it did leave some mild bends, kinks and crinkles. Are there any ways that I might "relieve" some or all of these minor blemishes? If this is silly I'm sure you'll let me know but can these be ironed out? Poster was in the $60 range. Oh, also, please spare me the "Gives it character" arguements. Thanks in advance.
