draper screen problem

Bought a 2nd hand 6' draper screen from AndyF over the weekend, looked fine except I DID notice some very faint horizontal creases, at regular intervals.

I put it up yesterday (sunday)...24 hours later the creases are still there with no sign of them dropping out.

Has anyone come across this before? Are they likely to "drop" out?

If you have them on your screen, is it noticeable when watching a movie?

They are faint, but I can see them

i had these on my owl screen,
i was told to leave the screen down in a warm room,i rang up owl,
and they said it was something to do with with room temp when it is wound up,
i am n ot an expert at all, but i did leave it down over night and the creases have gone,
it may work it may not,as my owl screen is a thick material and may act differently to thinner one, but it is worth a try
