Photo Tex Printers, Photo-Tex Paper, and Where to buy Photo Tex

We've received a number of questions regarding Photo-tex paper, the re-stickable material that can be used for trade shows, posters, temporary displays, and much more. We've had great success using Photo-tex at trade shows either on the floor in front of our booth or to wrap around columns our booth is near. The possibilities with Photo Tex paper are endless. People have also reported using them as "fathead" or fat-head like posters for their rooms. The picture on the right is an application at a tradeshow, using the Photo Tex material to create a display in front of the exhibit booth.









Here are responses to some commonly and frequently asked questions we get:

We have had bad results using laser printers due to the heating process when it prints, the toner does not adhere well to the media. Since the Photo Tex material is a thicker media, with a canvas like texture, any printer designed to handle fine art paper or canvas should not have any problems.
