Service Level:

Order this if you want BASIC Dry Clean & Press and any of:

  • Remove tape

  • Fix torn pages

  • Reinforce torn staple holes

  • Repair spine splits

  • Seal cover or page tears

Please provide details for your items in the Submission Information Form after cart checkout.

This fee per item INCLUDES 8-week BASIC Dry Clean & Press - can add up to three (3) weeks to any turnaround time

Items must not be brittle or fragile, especially at corners, edges, staples or spines.

  • Tape removal involves scraping, heat, solvents or combinations of these techniques

    • When removing tape, some color could rip away (tape pull) or ink color surfaces could crack/break; and exacerbated spine splits/broken brittle corners/extended paper tears are possible

    • We cannot guarantee that new defects won’t be introduced during this process

  • Tear seals involve the application of Japanese paper with a natural adhesive e.g., wheat starch paste

    • Placing removable seals over paper tears relies on moistened reversible adhesive, which can sometimes leave marks or tidelines after drying on thin or tan paper

    • Tear seals are nearly invisible but sometimes can be noticeable when laid over graphics - usually applied on the inside of a cover or page

Cancellation fee: $5/item
