Although it will take extra time which needs to be factored into pricing, steaming after the fact has been a long-time standard finishing touch, especially when end product is to used for re-sale.

Yeah I have just started doing this, but I am determined to find a way to eliminate this extra step. How do you do the steaming? Do you spray the edges of the marks with a mist from sprayer and run them through a conveyor dryer?

I assume pressing again wont work as the steam will not have anywhere to escape?

It definitely is an extra step.
I am not running nearly the same operation now as I was before my gradual retirement process kicked in, but spray bottle mist and a trip down the dryer tunnel was used on some jobs. I also know that some shops use an actual hand held clothes steamer on a hanging piece as one would do at home to remove wrinkles.
That rug really tied the room together, did it not?
