I went to CFP's website. Do they not offer cleaning?

From my FAQ page.

What is included in the price of the pressing?


For the regular tiers of service the following is included along with the pressing.

* Dry cleaning
* Spot and tacking iron work
* Full book press
* Quick restoration check. I do not claim to be an expert but I do catch most of what comes across my desk
* If the book needs to be pressed again it will be done at no additional cost

@CFP_Comics Will cleaning and pressing affect signatures on books?

Only with certain types of paint pens. Todd McFarlane uses a certain pen (white, light blue, purple) that tends to sit on top of the paper instead of being absorbed into it like a sharpie or ink pen would. Books signed with those paint pens are problematic but can be done. I believe there is a thread that shows a few examples of the issues with these paint pens.

I've wondered if some of the signature inks will cause problems for the books in the future.

CFP is great. I've sent Joe my money books and not-so-money books that have sentimental value. He does excellent work.

I know this entry is late to the party, but for those that come to this thread late, I just used Mr. Comic Press, and he did a fantastic job on my books. Non-color break spine stress just vanished a small fold on one of the back covers is gone.

You can reach him at: comicpressing@gmail.com

Really easy to work with and great communication and turn around times.
