Hey /po/.

I thought I'd ask here...
What's the best way of straightening out creases and folds in paper, specifically A4?
I brought home an important document which got a little creased up on its travel which looks unprofessional in its current state.
The "between two heavy books" trick isn't really working all that well.

Iron it.

Make sure u turn off the steam function if the iron has that.

It'll straighten out the piece of paper, won't get rid of the visual crease lines tho (nothing will).

It won't do anything to the ink will it? There's pen ink too...

Just test it on something useless.

put something in between the paper and the iron, wouldnt want to mess up that document even more

Wouldn't it melt the ink and make it runny again?

Sorry that you cannot use an iron.

Here's for future reference, got a piece of paper that you need flattening?
Use an ironing board witht the piece of paper on top, then a tea towl on top of the paper, iron the tea towel WITHOUT using steam, and make sure the iron is on a reasonably low setting, keep checking between passes with the iron untill the desired effect is obtained

Risky (can leave creases permanently and very visibly if goes wrong), but perfect result: Print an empty page (no content) on that document on a laser printer.

I would advise against the laser printer method because of the risk, but I confirm that it does work sometimes.

Oh, I also suggest the ironing method. Note: if you set it too hot, you might yellow the paper.

Put it in the oven

How completely fucking retarded. I almost feel like signing up just to downvote, but considering all the retards giving it 5 stars there is no point.

No guarantees:
Get a q-tip and damp it with some water. put a little bit on the crease (be careful with how much you damp it), then iron it out making sure you have a clean sheet of paper between the sheet your want fixed and the iron. Also, make sure the surface you're ironing on is even (ironing board works of course) -you can repeat the process until you get the results you need.

I encourage you to try this on a test sheet first!
