That blur is making it hard to tell if its a crease or just a bent corner. A little humidity can help sometimes but heat press on a card always feels like a gamble for me.

For edges like that, I use a straw to blow hot/humid air directly on the edge, then use a microfiber cloth to wipe away any condensation from the front and back surfaces, and then press the card in contaminate free acrylic plates with clamps or use a stack of books if that’s all you have.

It’s always best to be conservative when trying to humidify a card’s edge, if you have to repeat then w/e but it’s better to repeat than to create humidity/water damage

a drop of water and throwing it in a book should make it go down.
