Hello, i want to print wall mural, not vinyl, not simple paper, something like textile mural that sticks with glue, wallpaper i dont know the exact word, but that will not deform from latex 360 heat. So it will line up perfectly. Any suggestions?

Phototex a good option. But are you wanting to switch materials primarily because of the panel alignment issues? If so you might want to instead re-evaluate your installation techniques. We've used Latex going on 10 years and wall graphics are our no. 1 product, most of it non-textile. Can't say we've experienced much of those sort of issues that didn't turn out to be installation related.

Basically havent print this kind of material yet, and i want to start with a material that has good results. Which phototex type do you use?

Just plain 'ole original Photoex. They have an opaque version with blockout, but haven't tried that.

Also can you please explain what do you mean " If so you might want to instead re-evaluate your installation techniques."?

Phototex is our brand of choice. Prints look great and they have multiple versions for different project specs. Good luck...

phototex is a dream to apply, just make sure to get the grey backed version or your joins will suffer.
I've also had great results with the avery 2631 and 2636 films, if you're looking for more 'texture'.

Are these self adhesive or using external glue?

Lots of good video out there and we subscribe to Justin Pate's Wrap Institute which has a wealth of information. Common problems for panel match would include excessive handling of the prints along the edges, using heat during application , pulling large swaths of liner (allows weight of material to stretch panels).

if your looking for a commercial wallcovering that wallpaper paste is needed for, we've used the Ultraflex Bali Hai media for some applications and have really liked printing on it. havent seen much in the way of shrinkage or stretching.
