Canon LFM345 Wallpaper non-woven 130g/m² 97003783 1000mm x 60m roll **CRYSTAL POINT / UV Gel (MATTE ONLY) / LATEX**

Application Guidelines

All surfaces should be smooth, dry, firm, slightly absorbent, clean and free from dust and grease. Remove old wallpaper and non-adhering paint or plaster from the surface. If necessary, smooth the rough surfaces with gypsum filler. Prime heavily absorbent surfaces with solvent-free prime.

Draw vertical lines on the wall by using a pencil, a level and a plumb line, in order to mark the position of the first strip of wallpaper. Do not wet the wallpaper with glue or water. Use the “pasting the wall” technique instead:

• Apply the paste/glue generously and evenly directly to the wall by using a water brush or roller. Mount the dry wall paper strips on the adhesive onto the wall. We advise using special glues for nonwovens like Methylan Direct (Henkel)

Nevertheless the choice of paste may also depend on the surface and the pre-treatment of the wall.

Mount the printed wallpaper to the wall without overlap while making sure that the print is properly aligned from panel to panel. Press each panel with a soft rubber roller or a soft dry cloth onto the wall. Take care that print is not damaged by too much abrasion. Work from the top to the bottom and from the centre to the edges. Press protruding material with a soft dry cloth into a corner and trim carefully with a cutting knife. Gently remove any excess of paste immediately from the wallpaper with a humid sponge. Drying of the wall paper should take place at room temperature. Too fast/too hot drying can cause separation of the edges and cracking of the mural.

Room ventilation should exist but avoid too much draft.

CrystalPoint toners are dye-based. Therefore light fastness will have limitations compared to pigmented inks. The level of light fastness will be determined by several factors like direct versus indirect sunlight, quality of window glazing, room temperature air-pollution etc. and can therefore not be predicted in advance.
