nerdistmonk Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 I need to find out what to use to "un-stick" color prints from each other without ruining them. either freeze them for 24 hours and try to slowly pull them apart (you dont want to try and pull them apart with force or youll end up with 2 ruined pictures) or you can soak them in warm water and let them detach on their own, if they do then just hang them and let them dry Ive done the soak version before it didnt work out that great, if you do the soak it will take a long time i tried 2 hours and rushed it....so yeah.

nerdistmonk Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 I had several photos that were stuck together, the soak option was lousy ended up with a bunch of trashed photos, havent tried the freezing method though Quote Link to comment
laotsu Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 maybe a solvent like carb cleaner? No it would wash off the ink even if it did separate them. GLWS! Quote Link to comment
nerdistmonk Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 carb cleaner wouldnt even leave the paper lol. Quote Link to comment

nerdistmonk Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 Thought....... alcohol wont work and it would cause damage to the emulsion. Quote Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 If you use alcohol [the right kind] and it doesn't work, run it through a coffee maker filter, add Orange juice and enjoy! 1 Quote Link to comment
Guest Rick-rat Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 Are they stuck like together with the same stuff as your Playboy magazine pages? 1 Quote Link to comment

Tristin Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 Ive frozen photos a couple times to get them apart. It can vary by what type of ink is used though... some are more adhesive than others. Throw them in a freezer back and let them sit in the freezer for 24hrs. Then slowly pull them apart. Quote Link to comment
