Hello, I thought I saw a forum about this before, but I don't see it now. Does anybody have any suggestions for a good comic pressing machine? Something decent, but affordable would suffice. I'm not dealing with a huge number of books, or super high end books, just a moderate amount, and wanting to improve the look of some medium condition books. Thank you for any input! -Gage

Most people use t-shirt presses that you can buy from Amazon or Home Depot. There are two types a clamshell and a swing-away. The clamshell is cheaper, because of the way the lid closes some people worry about the pressure being uneven.

The swing-away applies even pressure on all areas of the book.

Thank you for the feedback! I've been hearing that t-shirt presses are commonly used. I wasn't aware of "clamshell" or "swing-away", so that helps!!
