If you're having the art print custom framed, just take it to your framer and they'll know what to do.
But if you're framing the art print yourself, do this first!
*Leave the glassine sheet on top of the print to protect the surface.
Step One- Unroll the print on a flat surface and place books on top for 24 hours or longer
Step Two- Roll the print in reverse using the tube it came in
*Go slow and make sure the paper is tight against the tube while rolling to avoid any creasing

This method to flatten art prints seems simple and effective. I appreciate the clear steps, though I wonder if humidity affects the process much. heartopia location
