you should ask your vinyl supplier, too, i am sure they know exactly what you need.
it has to be a low tack removable white printable vinyl, i believe Oracal makes it

Contact Oracal and ask about their 631-series of vinyl, as it has a matte surface and low tact adhesive.

The Oracal site is currently having difficulty. Give a call to 912-851-5000 for assistance.

You might try photo-tex, its more of a fabric material but won't curl like vinyl.

regular vinyl will curl if you print to the edge.. then apply to walls..
I dont think this GMI stuff will..
that is one question I would surely ask the supplier tho..
as ive had stickers ive made with regular vinyl that just wont stick to walls.

ive ordered and used the jarhead material.. seems to work well.. we leave a half inch to help with the curling issue.. but you really have to clean the walls..

The photo-tex is a bit more $$$but will stick to any surface won't fall like vinyl sometimes will. Its a bit more difficult to work with and you will run thru blades.
