    Heads up, that fire resistant paper you have for pressing will leave a mark on the comic cover. The same grid pattern on the paper will show up on the cover. I think they call that pebbling. Switch to Silicone Parchment Paper

    You’re the definition of: when one door closes, another opens. Ever since the job lay off thing, I’ve seen you dive hard/harder…into this comic hobby. I noticed the change in the channel’s videos. And lately…looks like you’re making this hobby into something you can get money & enjoyment out of it. Just glad it’s working for you, keep the passion and hard work going.

    Just started getting in to pressing a few months ago and there's something weirdly zen about the whole thing. From setting up the work space to the the entire dry cleaning and pressing process.

    I'm right there with you James. I'm still in the cleaning ofthe room stage though. I also follow Immaculate Comics and have ordered from him. I learned years ago about those clamp on lamps. It WILL break if you move it around. I prefer a lamp with a flexi-stand so I can bend it around at different angles. And yes, that clamp-on one should be sold at the Dollar Store. If you can I would return it while you can go for something else. Congrats on getting through the setup. I'm eager to get started too and share our experiences as beginers.🥴

    Dry cleaning scares me more that wet cleaning. Be careful with the 40 factor (12%) peroxide. I would also say that your "eye/knowledge/spider sense" for spotting 9+ level comics in the wild is your greatest power. Where will your cold press stack live? Above all, have fun.

    Love this. Do you have any kind of setup for playing music when you work? I know we all have different work methods, but as an author for over 40 years I’ve never sat down to write without some music playing in the background. So I’m just curious if you have similar habits of inspiration.

      @jimbomba4365 Год назад

      I think you've maximized the best use of the space you have available, although it may not be save to have your press that close to the curtains. Am I seeing things, or is the press hanging off the corner of the table?
      Just a heads up about light therapy. I've recently been watching videos of people who restore yellowing plastics from old computers and gaming systems and most of them use UV light boxes, but there was one guy who did a comparison video with multiple techniques/mediums and he discovered that with UV the lightening the results had less to do with the UV light itself and more to do with the heat generated by the light. In his trials, heat without UV light did a better job of lightening the plastic than UV by itself did, and while it takes a longer amount of time than UV he also got better results using an ozone machine (putting the plastic in a bag, inflating it with ozone, and letting it sit for 24 hours or more). I don't know if these techniques would work as well on paper as they do on plastic, but now I'm very tempted to try. Link to the video is below.
