Safe Wall Mural Media & Printer Recommendations for Children's Bedrooms?

[ash1982]

Hi,

I am looking at making children's bedroom wall murals/ cut stickers. Can anyone recommend a safe media free from chemicals?

I'm thinking a polyester self adhesive fabric.
It would need to removable & repositionable without damaging the wall.
The customer will be applying the stickers themselves.

I currently have a Roland Eco Sol but looking to upgrade this and want to use the safest type of printer to make the wall stickers, any recommendations please?

Thank you

I am thinking that either latex or eco-sol would be fine with over laminate as many toys are PVC based. plus cleanable kids make a mess.

I noticed this on the Phototex site:

• INSTALLATION DISCLAIMER & PRECAUTION: Due to all the variables of the wall surface and recently the (NEW) paints, along with choosing the correct PHOTO TEX versions. Our products should not be installed within a distance in which infant/children sleep and/or occupy without continuous adult supervision.

I did have one case of phototex coming of the wall overnight after an install. It was a 6'x6' graphic. I was on a wall with extreme temp changes. Full sun beating on the outside wall during the day and cold A/C overnight (art gallery). Fixed the issued by puting banner tape across the top and it made it the 6 months needed.
I guess i could see a little kid pulling the graphic and getting wrapped up in a sticky blanket.

we do some wall coverings for convenience stores.
i always assume everything should be pressure washable

I had a customer who made products for kids. She had materials tested in a lab. She printed with an eco sol Roland printer and only used cast vinyl and lam due to the lack of phthalates compared to calendared vinyl.

never had an issue with phototex, if you're really worried about smothering a child from some freak accident then pop a couple of staples along the top of the wall.

Everyone worried about something happening has never come upon their 8 year wrapping their 3 year old up like a hostage with some duct tape...

I did a series of phototex murals in an office right before thanksgiving. They turned the heat off, and a couple of the murals fell down.
