Advice needed on installing a wall graphic internaly?

[Nicholas Gormley]

Digital wallpaper would be an option and apply with paste??

[Christopher Ward]

Thanks for that Nicolas,
I have seen this advertised but wondered if we could print onto a special vinyl and apply without the paste? i suppose like a vehicle side or wrap?

you could use matt vinyl. Works a treat

Hi Peter,
Matt vinyl? would you recommend a laminate? will it apply easily?

Many thanks

Chris

Chris
its easy to apply, and like "wallpaper" does not need a laminate, matt vinyl seams to absorb the ink more, and providing no aggressive cleaners are used. should do the job

I will give it a go Peter,
Thank you for your much appreciated advice.

As peter says, vinyl will be fine.
Matt would look best, but i would print onto regular digital vinyl, but use a Matt "laminate".
The laminate will thicken the vinyl and make applying it easier. it may also help hide any surface imperfections due to its double thickness. (within reason)
a point to help sell the customer on paying for the laminate is that they can easy sponge down the walls to clean, prevents any sort of chemical or abrasion tacks on the print etc etc

Laminate, as Rob says will enhance the selling points, wallpaper is not and as far as I know, cannot be laminated, so matt vinyl is just as good, but laminated, even better 😀

hi Peter,
Digital wallpaper on a fabric backed paper can have a liquid wax laminate or even a clear varnish applied !
one of the selling points is that its washable and also has a fire retardent value that can give a customer cheaper insurance !

any paper can be laminated
as below all laminated
