Recommendation for permanent wall vinyl decal

I am looking for eco sovlent matt white vinyl for wall decals. I will print to the edge. I try with 3M j20, but after one day there is a little edge curling. I cut 24h after printing. It's not important to be removable adhesive.
I am new in busines, so I would be grateful for advice.

You are going to have issues with edge curl with solvent and full bleed edge cut graphics. If you don't care about permanent adhesive try oracal 3640 or 3M IJ35, both are not designed for walls and they will be aggressive adhesive.

You still may experience edge curl.

Tnx fore response.

I was hoping that curling problem is because IJ20 have too weak adhesive for wall surface. I am not looking for wall designend vinyl becuse it's not available in my country, and as I read on this forum, people also complain on edge curling when prinitng to the edge.

I have had good results with General Formulations vinyl. Much to choose from. Never had much of an issue with curling.

Do you mind if I ask why you can only order those particular brands? Do you not have access to any others?

Oracal 3651 or Oracal 3165...both permanent and will work great if left unlaminated. The only printed vinyl wall install we ever had a problem with was laminated - too thick to grind it into the texture.

In my opinion, there's no reason to use "wall vinyl" specifically for walls if it's a permanent fixture. The only advantage to using "wall vinyl" is that it's removable and/or repositionable without damaging the wall. If it's permanent, save the money and use regular permanent sign vinyl.

Also like mentioned above, give it two or three days before cutting....or a week if it's not a rush. The more time the better.

I still have no time for testing, but tnx for advice.

I tested few sticker on wall, wooden doors and window glass. It's OK on wooden doors and window, but on wall I have problem with shrinking. Especially in parts with high ink covrege. Maybae I must use some polymeric vinyl?

hmmm...we've done heavy black wall prints before to even 3164 and installed to the wall with no issue. Only sat four days before installing.

If it's not intended to be removed, then why not use some wallpaper paste or contact cement around the edges.
I think I would put it up, then peel back the edge and use the paste.
I think you could use any type of vinyl of your choice

On REALLY tall walls, we'll go as far as tucking little tiny staples as far up against the top edge as we can about 12-16" apart. Customer never sees them, and I sleep better at night :)
