Your options are virtually endless. If it's a vertical surface (i.e. walls) we can most likely print on it. Drywall (yes, even textured), glass, wood, brick, tile-our printer can handle it!
We use a very resistant, plastic-like UV ink that hardens immediately under the integrated UV curing lamps and can be used on almost all substrates. Thus, plaster, wallpaper, wood, brick, latex paints, stone, clinker, plastic, metal, glass, most tiles and many other materials can be printed without any problems.
Even natural stone, clinker or rough plaster can be printed without problems up to a contour depth of approx. 10 mm
Nope! We can either use the color of the wall or lay a layer of white ink as part of the printing process. The ideal wall color is white, but we can even print on dark black!
Printing height: The vertical axis is extremely flexible as it can be extended in 10 cm increments. The lowest ceiling height for using the wallPen is 1.7 m (5 ft 6" ). After that, the axis can optionally be extended up to 4 m (13 ft) print height in 10 cm (4 in) increments.
Print width: unlimitedDue to the limitations of inkjet technology, there are margins in corners to adjacent walls, floor and ceiling. These are 6 cm (2.3″) on the left, 10 cm (3.3″) on the right, 25 cm (9.8″) on the top, and 25 cm (9.8″) on the bottom.
Immediately! Given the UV-curing process, once the print head has passed the image is completely dry and able to be touched.
Absolutely! We would recommend applying a UV protectant-which also protects against vandalism/graffiti removal. With the use of the UV-protectant and our application services, the work is warrantied for up to 10 years.
Of course! On glass with a ceramic hob scraper or razor blade. Otherwise, a print can always be painted over in two or three layers. Only on wood must be sanded or - as with metal or concrete - sandblasting or glass bead blasting.
We're happy to provide painting services should you be interested in a new concept!
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.
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..
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 print specifics, it can take anywhere from 1 to 3 hours per 50 sq feet.
We have worked to provide an easy to consume pricing model: $23 per sqft to print!
If you know what you want to print (already have an image or concept in mind), no design cost is associated with the print. If you require something custom, like the development of a logo or a unique mural design, we would require an additional design fee.
