Not an ideal solution and a bit disappointing the labeled instructions indicate the paper is extra washable as it clearly is not,but an effective way to get rid of the white lines down the joins on the darker colours. The solution i found was to use felt pens matched as closely to the colour (test on a small piece first as some dry in darker than expected) as possible on the white paper ends of the rolls before unrolling and cutting to length.
Over lapping the paper then cutting with a scalpel is not possible as the surface cannot be wiped effectively without some of the colour washing out, this is particularly noticeable with the black. It appears there is very slight wave effect along the edge of the paper ,it looks like it has been cut to width post the printing process by a blade that was not square to the roll and possibly not sharp enough as the printed face seems to have turned down in the direction of cutting, giving the effect the printed face is narrower than the paper face if that makes sense, allowing a slight line to show when butt joined.
I have just hung 15 rolls of this wallpaper in various colours in my brothers new house and while it has a great overall effect there is a problem with the joins that stems from the manufacturing process. It would be helpful if you took a few pictures for the retailer so they can judge themselves what the cause of the shading might be. The retailer will then contact us (and exchange the roll for you based on their return policy). If you think the different shade was not caused by either of those, then please return the remainder of the different roll and the label to the retailer you purchased the wallpaper from. Please check that the paper was not reverse hung. The texture is directional, meaning all strips must be hung in the same direction top to bottom as they come off the roll, as indicated in the hanging instructions. There are two things that could have caused this issue: 1) The strip that looks different came from a different batch – please check that all the batch numbers of the rolls you purchased are the same 2) The strip that looks different was reverse hung.
