I unroll with ink down on a table, I get about 8 inches unrolled and set heavy books on the ends, unroll the rest and put books at the other end. Takes about 2 weeks to flatten. The more weight the quicker the process.

Good things take time

here is my poster table. I put them between 2 foam boards - acid free.



Then I put them into my poster book until im ready to have something framed.

4 push pins should do the trick.

That's a great set up. Wife would kill me though.

Guilty. Since the poster is thick you might need 6 push pins to keep it nice and flat on the wall.

Roll it the opposite direction and then throw it back into the tube for a day or so. It should come out relatively flat.
