Custom Viynl Wall Graphics (like Fat Heads)

[beattyphotography]

I want to add removable wall graphics just like Fat Head posters to my product list. If any sports photographer could refer me to a reliable and quality merchant I would greatly appreciate it.

The company I deal with, orderpicture.com, offers them. I have yet to purchase one for a sample yet so I don't know the quality. If it's anything like the rest of their stuff then it should be very good!!

I just saw that today also. I've been happy with Mpix in the past so I can only guess that their wall clings would also be great.

1. Paper
Wall-a-Be - We use a patented removable vinyl substrate.
Competitor - They use a removable fabric based substrate or a thin removable vinyl substrate.
We tested numerous substrates but found the vinyl products a much higher quality picture, plus for the customer it is easier to hang and clean.


3. Ink
Wall-a-Be - Our printer uses UV cured inks.
Competitor - They use solvent based inks.
We tested both types of printers, inks, and substrates and found that solvent based inks cause removable vinyl to shrink and curl which leads to the image pealing off the wall. Solvent based inks can only print on fabric based substrates.


Hmm, I went to your site and found this in the Q&A-

Q: What are Wall-a-Be’s made of?
A: Wall-a-Be's are printed on a fabric based vinyl that is easy to apply and remove from any wall. This vinyl will not shrink or curl like some other wall graphics.

Q: Do you print using solvent ink?
A: Yes, we have chosen solvent inks because they work the best with this type of paper.

4. Network
Wall-a-Be - We have developed a network of printers through North America that are capable of handling high volume production. Orders are sent to facilities closest to final destination to lower shipping costs and for faster turnaround.

I would be concerned that quality,and colors could vary greatly. If they came from your own lab, there would be a greater chance for consistency.

I have a buddy who uses Wall Hogs, and raves about the quality and their service.

I just haven't pulled the trigger on them yet. We already offer too much crap. :D
