Photo-Tex adhesive will not leave a sticky residue against 99% of any surface when removed. It can be placed in all weather conditions and it will not shrink or curl like vinyl. It won't rip or wrinkle and can be pulled apart if it folds over during installation.
It can be illuminated with a backlight, be wrapped around wall corners, ceilings and poles, re-positioned and re-used over and over again, actually the adhesive never weakens. You can even paint on the material or make custom cut-outs as you can kiss-cut (coutour-cut) the material.
Used in photography (reproduce any picture, create sports actions shots, artwork murals), wallpaper borders, corporate advertising, signs , posters , department stores ads, elevators door coverings, racecars, window signs.

* UV inks can be used with either version of PHOTOTEX, but bleeding heavy solids o the end of the material may cause curl. So you may want to leave up to a 1/2" border. Also turn your heat setting to low , 45C as excessive heat when printing can weaken the strength of the adhesive.
