My only other comment, regardless of whether you go with self-adhesive or paste-up material, is about abrasion protection. outsourced labor to install paste-up material, you'll come out even or possibly slightly ahead, and with paste-up material you will be giving your client a FAR superior product. (general speaking, I'm sure there are some exceptions to this) than non-adhesive paste-up wallpaper, and once you factor in your labor to install it vs. You'll find that the self-adhesive material is more expensive per sq. While you can try to hang paste-up material yourself (and it's not really hard), in the long run it's more efficient and cost effective to pay a professional to install it for you.

We routinely see bubbling, peeling or lifting issues with self-adhesive materials on even short-term or promotional jobs (and we've tried just about everything out there, including Phototex, Avery and Oracal "wall vinyls", cast vinyls, Dreamscape adhesive wallpaper, etc). We've printed many many thousands of square feet of Korographics wall media and have yet to have a failure with it. You will find that a paste-up material will last significantly longer, give a much more professional finished look, will give you a vast array of textures to work with, and ultimately will probably cost about the same, if not less.

If you've not don much of this, I can tell you self-adhesive material is NOT ideal for any sort of a large scale or long-term installation. ![]() I don't mean that to be offensive so please don't take it that way, just curious. Can I ask why you are using a self-adhesive material over a true paste-up media? I'm guessing by the nature of this post you don't have a ton of experience with wall murals like this. ![]()
