FAQ: What is comic book pressing?A procedure to improve the overall condition and appearance of a comic book by fixing or removingvarious pressable defects. Are pressing and dry cleaning classified as restoration?The Certified Guaranty Company (CGC) considers restoration as any other procedure that involvesthe addition of some foreign material or substance to improve its overall physical/structural conditionand/or appearance such as chemicals, color touch-up, extra staples, glue, and tape. Because pressingand dry cleaning are non-additive procedures, neither is considered to be a form of restoration. What defects can you fix?Defects that we can fix through pressing: Non-color breaking bends and folds/fold lines, non-color-breaking spine stress marks or ticks, dog-eared page corners, rippling and waviness from moisture damage, handling dimples or finger bends, writing impressions, light or shallow grooves, cover dents, non-color-breaking edge dents, stacking bends/fold lines, crunched or impacted corners. Nonpressable defects that cannot be fixed through this service: Color-breaking creases and spine stress marks, non-color-breaking creases that crease or wrinkle the paper itself, production/printer creases, foxing and other stains, tears, rusted staples. What can you fix with dry cleaning?Defects that we can dry clean: Common soiling, loose dirt, and pencil markings primarily in white areas of the front and back covers. Cleaning of soil and pencil marks may not be possible in colored areas, primarily red and yellow areas, due to possible ink removal. Defects that we CANNOT dry clean: Fingerprints, foxing, tanning, sun shadows, color fading, water stains (tide lines), rust stains, oil-based stains, pen or other ink markings, food stains, mildew and musty odor, tape and tape residue, glue, distributor ink overspray, amateur restoration and repair (for example, tape removal, removal of extra staples, glue removal, color touch). How do will you press and clean my book?Our pressing method uses a combination of gentle heat, humidty, and pressure that has been proven to be very effective in removing pressable defects. Our dry cleaning process involves a gentle careful procedure to protect the structural integrity of the cover and guard against the loss of any cover ink.
