PhotoTex Removable, Reusable, Repositionable Printable Fabric
I'm excited about the cool new things we have to sell in the wide format printing arena.. One of them is this product called PhotoTex. My understanding is it's a lot like the fathead products that have become so popular.
It is a white, reusable, printable, polyester fabric that can be mounted to virtually any flat surface and re-positioned countless times while retaining its adhesion and without leaving a residue even brick walls! It can be printed with Solvent or Aqueous/Pigment & UV inks.
Photo Tex can be used both indoors and out in any weather condition, is water resistant and instant dry, it doesn't shrink or curl, tear or wrinkle, and it can be illuminated with backlighting. The adhesive does not weaken after several position changes as long as the adhesive stays clean. I mean, how cool is that??
The rolls widths are 17, 36, 42, and 54. Lengths are 55 and 100ft and need to be specified for aqueous or solvent printing. There are several competitors, but this stuff is tried and true. I ESPECIALLY love that it is free of Formaldehyde, or Phthalates. (If that means anything to you, follow me on Twitter @GreenPaperGal)!
