scburdet Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 IDK if that's a printer's crease going from Spider-Man's hand out, It's pretty heavy. There are several things that look like printer's creases, which aren't treated as defects per se, but having multiple and long ones does impact the aesthetic appeal. There's also something going on in the dark ink along the spine. Some color rub or something. 7.0±0.5 with some uncertainty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn't heard about printer's creases but yes, on the front cover there are two creases converging at Spider-Man's hand. On the back cover there are two creases, one going thought the jar of paint brushes and the other atop of the words "We're looking". Thank you for pointing those out as i had not seen them. Appreciate the grading! Would a c/p take out the printer's crease? Edited February 15, 2023 by juniperpt add question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pressing is capable of removing things that are more like indentions & bends. Creases can be flattened, which can make the book look a little nicer. In all the books I own with printer's creases, it's definitely like paper folded into itself, it's just much tighter/smaller (like a ridge) than what happens with regular handling.

An excellent description of a printer''s crease. Looks like a miniture fault line on paper. Thanks! scburdet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
