Francis,
I made good experiences by following the professional advice of Peter D. Verheyen. Although this method is for books, it works as well for prints:
"Another common problem is "dog ears" which always appear in books. They should not be straightened dry because this will likely cause the fibers to break. The best way to do this is to steam the corner, causing the fibers to relax. We can apply moisture to the fold with a brush but excessive moisture can cause tidelines here too! When the corner has been straightened it should be placed between small pieces of Mylar and rubbed with a bone folder to reduce the crease. It is then presed with the weight of the remainder of the book block."
