Wall graphics?

[Signarama Grayslake]

What type of material do you guys use for wall graphics? we have some heavy duty stuff. but when printed on it has a matte finish, somewhat dull. It seems almost like banner material where its threaded together. What brand is good?
Thanks!

There are a couple of materials i would recommend for doing wall graphics...

GMI wall graphic material (4 and 6 mil available) vinyl wall graphic material, solvent printable, excellent color, easy to work with, requires a bleed to prevent curling on wall

Seramark - fabric based solvent printable material, excellent color, phthalate free, CPSIA compliant, no bleed required

These two materials are the most consistent performing materials i have used for this type off application. We have tried others, while the print was nice, it was tough to prevent it from curling once applied to the wall.

Samples available on request

I don't print, however I do hire it done when I want a mural done and I personally buy Wallscapes. It is like a canvas which you print on and I have done a number of murals with it and it always looks great!

Look at the Seramark material, it's a great product. Prints well, meets CSA requirements, is made in the Midwest. Doesn't fray, conforms better than most on the market.

Phototex no bleed . GMI won't stick to the same semi gloss latex.

It really depends on the look you're after and the removability. I like to use the Avery MPI 2601 Wall Film for indoors and the 3M IJ8624 for most outdoor.

For a glossy look with the MPI 2601 I use a gloss adh.overlam.

Oracal 3551 RA glossy and then I decide if I want gloss or matte finish when I go to laminate.

I also print on Wallscapes wallpaper material and hang my own wallpaper. I use the traditional method, but they also offer a "pre-adhesive'd" version that applies like vinyl.
