LexJet Introduces New Repositionable and Removable Adhesive-Backed Fabric

Print-N-Stick Fabric from LexJetLexJet’s new Print-N-Stick Fabric™ brings true photographic-quality printing to an inkjet fabric material that’s also backed with a repositionable and removable adhesive.

The new product is a combination of LexJet’s popular Water-Resistant Satin Cloth and a proprietary adhesive system that allows users to easily apply, reposition, remove and re-use graphics on virtually any flat surface without leaving any residue behind.

“Printing has been a cinch. I fed it right into the printer and didn’t have to make any changes to the suction to feed it in,” says Jack Ansley, owner of John H. Ansley Studio, Devon, Pa. “It has a very nice white surface, which produced rich blacks and great image quality for a project I recently printed applied to a concrete wall. I was amazed at how easy it is to apply and reposition without any bubbling.”

Print-N-Stick ApplicationAnsley adds that he’s applied one panel of the multi-panel project, pictured here, which is scheduled to be completed over the next couple of weeks.

The water-resistant fabric is also easy to finish; it won’t rip, wrinkle or stretch during production or installation and can be cut into any shape without fraying or tearing. Compatible with aqueous and latex inks, LexJet Print-N-Stick Fabric has a 110⁰ white point and allows higher ink saturation for deeper, sharper colors than most inkjet fabrics.

LexJet Print-N-Stick Fabric is ideal for wall murals and cut-out wall graphics, point-of-purchase displays, decals, window graphics, signs and more. It is available and shipping from LexJet’s Nationwide Distribution Network in 24″, 36″, 42″ and 60″ wide x 100′ roll lengths (LexJet also offers a 24″ x 20′ test roll).

Adhesive Test: Is it Really Repositionable and Reusable?

Testing adhesive backed materialsYou’ve likely read about or worked with Photo Tex Repositionable Fabric from LexJet since it’s become one of the most popular inkjet printable materials for a variety of applications. The key to its success is the special pressure-sensitive adhesive that makes it super-easy to apply, remove and reuse, if you so choose.

When it’s removed from the surface it doesn’t leave any residue behind or remove paint from a primed wall. It’s safe to apply over wallpaper, applies wrinkle-free and does not rip.

Because of its success, a number of competitive materials have arrived on the market that have set out to replicate the adhesive qualities that make Photo Tex so unique. In the video embedded below, LexJet’s technical support team demonstrates a variety of tests you can do to test the adhesive to see if it does what it says it will do.
