    im curious too… see the QuickWraps videos on youtube about it.

    But, is it not just application tape that is a fabric that can be printed on?

    Yes I’ve used it and supplied it to customers printed and had no comebacks, works nicely and easy to fit. I have been able to contour cut it as well for simple shapes but you need a sharp knife in your cutter as it can leave threads.

    this is one I did recently.

    I was looking at it the other day along with some other digital wall coverings. Next step was to try and get a sample. Did you contact them Chris as I couldn’t find anything on the website.

    Warren have you used any other digital wallpapers and if so how did they all compare??

    I did first buy a sample for £12, printed and cut a whole bunch of samples and sent them out to customers, then as I started getting order I bought in a full roll. I haven’t done a lot, would say about half a roll in total.

    haven’t ever used any other wall paper media before so can’t compare.

    They do give A4 samples if you just want to see the texture and test it on a wall.

    cheers

    this is to apply a full length cut graphic approx 8mtrs long, simple enough to hand cut. application may be fun but time will tell

    How big a sample Kevin and at what width?? Didn’t see any prices on the Landor website for rolls but found it on another website. Can’t remember the name now but did bookmark it on my other machine.

    We use tones of it.

    Its repositionable so no good if people are going to pick at the graphics because you can pull it off the surface easily. But very simple to apply no bubbles etc. You can work it out easily.

    don’t overlay tiles either because its transparent.

    We’re on our third roll of this, it is expensive but the results are excellent.

    The forest image is in our office and the other images are recently completed projects.

    I wouldn’t recommend it being reposition-able, it will quite easily pull the paint off.

    We had some issues with one of the rolls which Landor quickly replaced. – To be honest, I’d spend all day every day printing & fitting this product if I could.
