| I can't be the only one who presses but if so oh well. Now that I am getting results from stuff you can clearly see is in bad shape I thought I would start capturing it and post/spoon.

Nice, MasterCPU. what are you using for pressing?? standard heavy book or you bought a book press???
I tried to change the world, but god won't give me the source code, I tried to do it in Proton and failed.

| I have a Dry mount heat press and a wet press. This cover was a tough one and required both. I humidity pressed it to get the wrinkles out and a heat press for the final touches. I think it definatly went up a point doing that, maybe even 2 points. Oh BTW, I have never seen cold weight pressing to work worth of a crap.

| Looks pretty good. I've never seen a pressed book up close. Even though it looks flat, are the creases noticeable on the cover? Any close up pictures?

Would be great if you would make high quality before after photos. The bright light photos show the wrinkles very well but they do not show how the comic edges lay flat post pressing.

My only goal was to show the wrinkles. I am not saying it came out perfect as you can see from photos anyways. Just ask me how it came out and I will tell you the truth. The corners were far from flat before I started but are not absolutly perfect now . Perfection takes time and I just got started so give me a couple of more months and I will have it down pat.

| Oh btw blast from the past, you have posted a total of 6 times and 273 visits and all 6 post were about my work. Although I am flattered that you find me important enough to watch, its time you tell the truth. I am positive you are from the CGC boards so its time to tell us all who you really are if you want me to acknowledge your future post. You can also explain why you are watching me and so eager to find my faults. Truth? you can't handle the truth. Jacky boy

Since you offer this service to the public it is it important to have high def scans of the before and after and even side shots. People need to know if there was any adverse affects caused by the pressing or if the book lays flat (I remember you showing one of your previous examples and the book was all rippled).
