Phototex wallpaper is a paste free wall covering. Simply print it, peel off the backing paper and put it on the wall or other surface. The unique oil based adhesive means Phototex is fully removable as the adhesive does not cure. No more hassle when putting it up or taking it down. If you\u2019ve never had the pleasure of working with Phototex, and want to learn more about the product look at our application pictures, YouTube channel and so on at www.phototex.co.uk.<\/p>

If you fancy seeing some printed samples please contact us, or if you wish to create some samples yourself then please contact us to purchase your discounted sample roll.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Phototex is a strong fabric which is rigid enough to remove and refit, this helps in two ways. Firstly when putting up Phototex if there are any bubbles or wrinkles simply peel back and smooth onto the surface again. Secondly if you want to move the poster, peel back and reuse on the new site. If doing this it is good practice to make sure the adhesive side does not come into contact with dirt or dust. Watch this short video to see how easy it is.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\u00a0Phototex is designed and proven to be removable without leaving residue or damaging the surface. However, it’s always recommended to test a small area first, especially on delicate surfaces. (not all walls are suitable)\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Many of our customers want extra protection for Phototex and use liquid lamination.

We recommend hanging Phototex onto the wall and hand applying Liquid Lamination over the finished article for the best protection. Our Liquid Lamination handbook is available for more information.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

No. Phototex is a polyester weave fabric with a highly stable adhesive,\u00a0 making it easy to hang. If there happens to be an issue you simply peel it back and re-apply. (as many times as you need to)\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Butt joining Phototex gives the best final finish. Phototex is fully coated allowing edge to edge printing. Alternatively you can print it leaving a border and trim with a sharp knife and a long ruler. With practice, joins can be virtually eliminated visually, then a liquid laminate can be applied by roller (WallPaper Matte for example) to seal and protect Phototex.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Phototex can be rolled against itself. It is best if the original lining paper is left on or any other backing release paper\/film can be used. If the image is to be taken down and put somewhere else it is good practice to keep the original liner to protect the glue, maintaining the excellent adhesive qualities of Phototex<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

For the best edge use a sharp blade. Blades both wear and often become chipped in service, however careful the operator may be. Blades that you might be able to use successfully on a soft Vinyl may not be sharp enough to cut Phototex cleanly as it is a woven textile type of material. Check your blade regularly, using a hand lens, looking for chips or any sign of a blunt edge to the blade.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

A tangential cutter is generally superior when compared to a drag knife cutter. There is 0.3mm offset with a drag knife cutter i.e. the point of the blade is 0.3mm (varies from machine to machine) behind the rotational axis of the cutting blade. On a tangential cutter the point is over the rotational axis of the cutting blade. The tangential cutter has a motor that rotates the blade so that the cutting edge is always facing the direction of the cut accurately whereas the drag knife blade tip is always behind and facing at a slight angle to the cutting direction when not cutting in a straight line. In extremis this means that a tangential cutter can cut better (sharper) right angles and can usually do so faster.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

It is always best to make sure any media is dry before starting to cut, Phototex is no exception. Phototex won\u2019t curl if not fully dry but attempting to cut through a \u201cgooey\u201d ink layer may lead to all manner of problems if ink builds up on the blade or the holder.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

In normal temperature conditions Phototex is easily removed. In extreme heat conditions, it is better to remove before the sun has had a chance to shine on it in the early morning or late at night.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Phototex has two specific coatings to get the absolute best from the printers and inks. One is optimised for Aqueous (water based) inks. The other version of Phototex is more universal and can be printed with Solvent, UV and Latex inks. It is highly recommended not to use Phototex with the wrong printing technology as the results will be sub-standard.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Phototex is designed for smooth, clean surfaces. While it may adhere to lightly textured walls, it’s recommended to test a small area first to ensure proper adhesion and removability.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Ensure the wall is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. For freshly painted walls, allow at least 30 days for the paint to cure before applying Phototex to prevent bubbles or adhesion issues.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t
