This US Patented Adhesive Fabric Media is compatible with pigment, water based, solvent, eco-solvent,
latex, and UV- inks. This fabric gives you vivid, sharp print results with brilliant colors! The Adhesive
is Re- m o v a b l e, Re-usable and Re-positional. Photo Tex’s characteristics separate itself from all other
products on the market using vinyl or similar fabrics. We stick to virtually any pai nted surface (in all
weather and room temperature changes), and can be easily removed with a 99% guarantee the surface
will be residue free. The material does not rip or wrinkle and is not required to be removed over a
certain period of time. Results will vary on stucco and eggshell painted surfaces. Not recommended for
brick, non-painted cement surfaces, or heavy painted spackled wall board. Make sure you allow 30-days
on newly painted surfaces for out-gassing. Also, always check the heat setting on UV and UV curable
printers to avoid over heating the adhesive, and altering its tack. Do not oversaturate UV inks and in
certain cases you may need to leave a 1” boarder – again, only UV inks is this test needed.

Ink Limit (according to profiles)

Pigment/Water: – indoor or outdoor
Dye based inks: – mixed results use pigment/water base version
Solvent inks: – (S) series – indoor or outdoor – liquid laminate for outdoor longevity
Eco-solvent – indoor and outdoor – needs liquid or spray lamination for outdoor.
Latex inks: – – indoor and outdoor – liquid laminate for outdoor longevity

UV-UV curable inks: – indoor and outdoor use (do not over saturate if bleeding as in rare cases curling
can occur due to printing very heavy solids). May need to add a border. Also, overheating during
printing can weaken adhesive. So make sure you test in-house first. Photo Tex will not replace rolls
under these instances. We are happy to send a free sample roll for testing in advance.

KOeeup all heat settings at 40-50 Celsius (100-120 degrees) during all printing phases.
tdoor Use: 6-12 months weather proof/fading , if you print with pigment inks, water based and UV
1-12 months weather proof warranty, if you print with solvent inks – all results may vary by
region and we recommend liquid *laminating or clear coating.
Do not use outdoors with Eco-solvent inks unless you *liquid or clear coat.
Indoor Use: So far we have had Photo Tex hanging without any issues concerning wear and tear
indoors for 9 years using all inks.
*We have seen a good one year plus when Photo Tex is liquid laminated or clear coated Outdoors.
