Two main cutting techniques can be considered to remove the white space on the left and right side of each
tile printed with your HP Latex 300 Series printer. These two methods can be used to yield a perfect seam
between each tile.
For a close to seamless look with tiles including an overlap, you may decide to double-cut your panels to trim
the overlap.
Double-cutting is a technique that is used to obtain perfectly fitted seams. It is done by overlapping one panel
of wallpaper over the other until the image or patterns are perfectly matched. Then a sharp blade is used to
cut through both layers. The excess edges are then removed.
To trim the overlap you will need a straight edge and a wallpaper trimming knife.
1. Make a clean, straight, vertical cut through both of the layers at the center of the overlaps. You may
need to change blades frequently (just snap off the old blade).
2. Then, peel away the waste on the top layer, lift the overlap and peel away the waste on the bottom
layer. Smooth both layers back down, wipe away any surplus adhesive. The result will be a nearly in-
visible seam between the panels. The other nice thing is that the razor line itself doesn't need to be
perfect. Just keep your eye on the middle of the overlap and keep going, slowly.
3. Continue to install the panels and double-cut the seams in the same manner until your entire mural
is hung, finishing finally with Panel A. Take some time to make sure everything is smoothed down
properly into place and that all edges are sticking down.
