      I bought some very high grade professional papers but I found they crease after I paint. This also happens to my Red Star papers. Why? How can I solve the problem?

      In China, it is also recommended to keep the raw Xuan paper after it is kept for a while. This process is called 退火 which literally means ‘reduce fire’. 🙂 This makes the paper more friendly to use and more flat after the painting is dry.

      i usually iron it after the paint had dried completely

      but be careful

      1. don’t use a very hot iron
      2. cover the painting with a cloth before ironing
      3. let it dry completely, wait 2-3 days
      4. store it properly otherwise the creases will reapperar
