    Has anybody printed any wallpaper on their printers? If so, how did it go, and more importantly where did you get the paper from?

    I’ve got my step brother wanting a wall in his bedroom covered in a beach scene.

    Any help or advice greatly received.

    Regards

    Robert

    hi
    blue back waterproof paper but i cant hang the 4ft wide though with out it stretching slightly.

    b&q blown paper the stuff you put up then paint the embossed patterns add to the effect worth a couple of quid to test for your self worked well for me.

    As chris said blue back paper, we had a customer a while go wanted a new york image for his bar, did it and it turned out very good, most paper supplies do it try Robert horne, euro paper they should be able to help you

    APS supply a specific wallpaper material for solvent printing – 23m rolls in a couple of widths. Haven’t tried it though!

    Chris / Justin,

    Just been looking at blue back paper and it seems its only good for pigment inks. I would want to print on a solvent printer. Do you have any idea if it would be suitable?

    Dan, I will contact Allprint tomorrow. Looks interesting. Thanks.
