Re: Which Vinyl for wall stickers?? I would contact a vendor and tell them what you plan to use the vinyl for. I know you would want to use a low tack vinyl, so it could be removed without causeing damage to the paint or the wall. .... JB

Re: Which Vinyl for wall stickers?? If you're talking about wall art, NOT the FATHEAD kind then you want to use Oracal 631, it has a matte finish and it looks painted.

Re: Which Vinyl for wall stickers?? 631 is a matte finish in ALL COLORS and it has removable glue upto 2 yrs. 651 and Avery A6 is GLOSSY on MOST COLORS. There's a huge difference in the way it looks on a wall.

Re: Which Vinyl for wall stickers?? Sorry, I'm still new at this and am a little bit confused about vinyl wall art. I read in another thread about making life size wall art of their children (like Fathead does). I don't know what was used to create these. What equipment is needed...anything special? Or can we use a regular ink system and vinyl cutter? I'd love to try it but CANNOT even think of getting any more 'toys'. I have a sublimation set up and a large vinyl cutter (not laser optic) that I hope will be all I need to do this. Thanks in advance for all your help!

Re: Which Vinyl for wall stickers?? The printer you would need for that starts at around 10-15K It may be a little less then that now.
