Removing Wrinkles From Rolled Canvas Prints

On rare occasions canvas prints can be wrinkled from packaging and shipping.

Canvas is a bit more forgiving than paper, but it still requires special care to get those creases out. If the crease is minor, try using a hair dryer on the low heat setting to warm up the back of the canvas to help it relax. Gently press down on the creased area with your hand to help smooth it out.

For more stubborn creases, you can try using a bit of steam. Hold a steam iron about 6 inches from the back of the creased area and move it back and forth until you start to see steam. Then, gently press down on the crease with your hand to help smooth it out. Just be careful not to get the iron too close, as too much heat can damage the canvas.

Another solution is to use a roller to help flatten out the creased area. You can use a wallpaper roller or a rolling pin to apply gentle pressure to the wrinkled area. To get the curl out of a rolled canvas simply drape it over a chair and allow gravity to straighten it out.
