Vinyl printing has notable drawbacks including difficulty adhering to textured surfaces, susceptibility to damage, and fading due to moisture and sunlight. It's costly, environmentally unfriendly, and challenging to remove without damaging underlying paint.

Conversely, wallprinting can be applied to any textured surface, is damage-resistant, and not affected by environmental conditions. It's cost-effective, eco-friendly, and easy to remove with two coats of paint or primer.

Unlike vinyl printing, which uses a lot of ink in order to saturate into the plastic makeup of the vinyl material, our special UV-ink - custom-made in Germany - is more like a very fine spray that gets cured with powerful UV lights directly the surface of the wall (or whatever we are printing on). Because we only need a thin outer coating and not a full-saturation print, our printer can move quickly and efficiently spray ink onto the surface with minimal waste.

We use less than a 0.4mL average of ink per square foot. For reference, a can of soda contains 355ml of soda. So we could cover over 887 square feet of space using the ink contained in a can of Pepsi! That’s pretty wild.

For drying time, our special UV-ink is cured with powerful UV lights mounted on the print head. It's almost completely dry as soon as it is printed! With our 1200 DPI package, the print surface might be a little tacky up to 1 hour after printing, but the ink will not come off the wall if you touch it. In essence, no drying time is needed at all!

Due to the nature of our printer, we can only print on surfaces that are vertically-oriented. This isn't the downside that you might think, as most objects can be oriented vertically using a special mount that we have developed. We can print on doors, tables, canvases, sheet metal, fabrics, even glass! As long as the surface can be oriented vertically during printing (usually by hanging it up at our workshop), it can be returned to any orientation afterwards.

Curved surfaces are unfortunately not possible for us to print on. Due to the nature of the printer itself, we cannot print on objects, items, or walls with a significant curve or grade. We recommend walls with less than 1 degree of +/- tilt in order for us to print on it.

Generally speaking, the best type of wall to print on would be a white or mostly-white/light grey wall. Think about your home printer - if you try to print a picture on a piece of dark blue paper you won't see much! If your surfaces aren't a good match for printing because they are a darker color, we can paint your walls with our high-gloss paint perfect for wallprinting, for an additional cost.

Each wall is unique, and the specific layout of your wall and any obstacles in the way - such as light switches, plugs, internet jacks, electrical panels, cracks or damage, windows, etc. will all take a unique approach.

Generally speaking, we can either design around the obstacles on the wall, or if we have access to your space's electrical box, we will shut off power and safely remove the switches and outlets, taping over the holes to make a uniform approach. Or, if your building has a maintenance crew, then we would request their help to temporarily remove those obstacles if they are available.

If we cannot safely remove any obstacles, then we will be required to design around them, such as decreasing the print size or breaking the design up into separate pieces.

Unfortunately, due to the nature of the printer and the offset of the robotic wheels and track from the print head, we cannot print edge-to-edge or guarantee full coverage of a wall surface. In this case, a traditional vinyl or wallpaper setup would be more beneficial if you are looking for pure edge-to-edge coverage.

However, our printer excels at doing things that vinyl and wallpaper cannot do, such as complex designs and even printing drop shadows with gradient fills onto the surface. Our clients will tell you that edge-to-edge printing isn't all its cracked up to be when compared to the power of wallprinting. All the designs we like to print emphasize the power of our printer, up to the maximum printable area.

Our printer tower can extend up to 17 feet high, though for highest stability and quality of printing, we try to limit our prints to no higher than 12-14ft. Because of our unique track system, we can print virtually infinite length, so a 50 foot long continuous print is no problem for our printer! As long as there are no significant objects in the way, in which case we'd break up the print into sections to avoid any major obstacles.

Our vertical print margins start at about 13 inches from the floor, up to 13 inches from a ceiling or the maximum tower extension, whichever comes first.

For horizontal margins, if we are printing from one wall to another wall, we usually recommend a minimum 20 inch margin from each wall corner in order to safely print. If there are no corners (such as printing in an open hallway) or only a single corner (starting or ending near a wall) then there are only 3 inch margins needed for the print.

Yes! Our prints are completely damage resistant. Unlike Vinyl, which is a layer of plastic that gets adhered to the wall and will start to peel away from any nicks, cuts, or dings that get put into the surface of the wrap, our special UV ink is cured directly onto the surface of the wall. Any damage to the wall does not degrade the quality of the print whatsoever, and results in no lasting damage to the overall print. No peeling, warping, or bubbles!

The wallprinting process does not prevent damage from occurring on your wall, any significant damage to the surface of the wall will transfer to the print. But this damage will not compromise the integrity of the rest of the printed surface.

The UV ink cures on the surface of the wall (or whatever object we are printing on) and hardens, giving it a very strong resiliency. You can use anything from wet wipes, isopropyl alcohol, Simple Green, soap and water, sprays, and other industrial cleaning products directly on the surface of the print itself.

Our process is incredibly quick, with same-day printing services available. We've started our design work, visited the printing site, done our measurements, set up the printer, printed the design, and packed up in just a few hours!

Depending on the DPI package selected, it can take anywhere from 1 to 3 hours per 50 sq feet. We did a 12ft by 15ft print in around 5 hours. In short, it's very fast and efficient!
