    Cheers, Chris I’ll look what they have.
    and to your question – Phototex is fabric – paper. It is expensive, brilliant print quality, tear resistant an almost indefinitely reposition-able. The problem is it is for die cutting not for friction cutting . The fibers dull the blade s even just in few tests…

    tnx

    Nataly,

    I’ve tested all wall products out there. Phototex is the only one that is going to do what you want.

    I’ve used them all GMI, Avery, 3M, Concept, Flexcon etc etc.

    Some curl up and fall off the wall. Someone stick so much they nearly remove paint when removing. Some don’t know the meaning on reusable.

    Nataly, I can’t help you over there, but I’m using a brilliant product here from Starleaton based on poly material.

    I’ve been testing it for some months. I use it on buses etc with no issues so far. I’ve just won a contract here to use it on bus fleets australia wide.

    I can’t find the box to see its trade name, but I’m pretty sure it is out of china and directly imported by Starleaton.

    Its reusable indefinitely as long as the surfaces are clean for both use and storage. It leaves no residue when removed either.

    Sorry I can’t help you over there, but Jason may be interested in giving it a go in australia.

    Its very thin, and no good to die cut from what I can see.

    Hey Nataly Avery was MPI2601. Its a great product but its not promoted as reusable. It’s removable but depends on how the wall is painted. We use it for permanent wall graphic displays.

    Shane: I haven’t tried it yet but if its no good for die cutting it doesn’t really fit my purpose.
