    We have used Metamark’s MD-TX with good results, however this is a textile type media and the adhesive is quite grabby which means the surface has to be 100% perfect if you want to use it as a removeable.

    However, we will shortly be trying the Arlon DPF207 which is a paper/film and DPF206 which is fabrix based – the adhesive doesn’t seem so aggresive so hopefully might be a little better for removable applications.

    Ive been using Neschen self adhesive wallpaper.
    works great but find it difficult to remove from liner, otherwise very good.
    that said, ive lots experience in applying dry… so if not used to applying dry, "tread careful" so to speak!

    there is also Neschen rapid-dot which is a dream to fit, even for your customer.
    downside is i think its about 12 month life. i need to check…

    Muraspec is a major manufacturer of this type of thing and not to be ignored.
    trouble for me is im only interested in self adhesive backed and most are paste. also, has some high end priced ranges, but do offer competitive ranges.

    video below is by muraspec for their info but content isnt very relevant to topic.
