Question 1

What is wall printing and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

Wall printing is the process of using a specialized vertical printer to apply high-resolution artwork directly onto walls or other vertical surfaces. Unlike vinyl or paint, this method uses UV-cured ink to create vibrant, precise, and long-lasting images.

Question 2

Why choose wall printing over vinyl or a traditional muralist?

Accepted Answer

Wall printing offers the precision and color quality of digital design with the permanence and seamless look of paint — without the peeling, bubbling, or long drying times. Unlike vinyl, there’s no adhesive, no cutting, and no risk of edges lifting. Compared to a muralist, wall printing is faster, more affordable, and perfectly replicates detailed designs, gradients, logos, and photos with zero artistic limitations.

Question 3

What surfaces can you print on?

Accepted Answer

We can print on nearly any vertical surface: drywall, glass, metal, wood, concrete, brick, tile, plastic, fabric, and more — as long as the surface is relatively smooth and clean.

Question 4

Is wall printing safe indoors?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We use eco-friendly, low-odor, UV-cured inks that are safe for indoor environments — including homes, schools, offices, restaurants, and medical facilities.

Question 5

How much does wall printing cost?

Accepted Answer

Our pricing ranges from $20 to $40 per square foot, depending on the detail and resolution of the design. There is a setup fee for jobs under 20 sq ft, which covers travel, calibration, and prep work. We provide free quotes for every project.

Question 6

What determines whether a print is $20 or $40 per square foot?

Accepted Answer

Design complexity, image resolution, and required ink coverage all affect the price. Simple graphics on smooth walls are on the lower end; photorealistic, high-definition prints or prints on textured surfaces are on the higher end.

Question 7

Do you charge for consultations or design mockups?

Accepted Answer

Initial consultations and basic digital mockups are free. If you require multiple mockups or complex design revisions that require the assistance of a graphic designer a separate fee will apply to cover these services, we’ll let you know in advance if additional fees apply.

Question 8

How big can you print?

Accepted Answer

We can print virtually any size. Our machine prints up to 13 feet high in a single pass, and width is unlimited by moving the printer along the wall. Large walls, hallways, and entire rooms are no problem.

Question 9

Can you print small designs too?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We print designs as small as a few square feet. However, prints under 20 sq ft require a setup fee due to the fixed prep and transport costs involved.

Question 10

How long does it take to complete a job?

Accepted Answer

Most projects are done in 1–6 hours, depending on size and definition of your print. A 5 ft x 8 ft mural, for example, typically takes around 3 hours to print from start to finish once the printer is set up.

Question 11

Can the prints be removed or painted over later?

Accepted Answer

Yes, our prints are durable and long-lasting — but not permanent. They can easily be printed over with a design of the same size or larger, or simply painted over with standard wall paint.

Question 12

Do you offer custom artwork?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. You can supply your own design or work with us to create something from scratch. We can also adapt existing branding, logos, or imagery into high-quality print-ready formats. If a graphic designer is needed an extra fee may apply.

Question 13

Can you print outdoors?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our inks are UV- and weather-resistant, making them ideal for outdoor walls, signage, garage doors, stucco, and even exterior brick or metal.

Question 14

Do you offer discounts?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We offer discounts to all active military and first responders. Also for multi wall projects and repeat business. Let us know your scope and we’ll create a custom package for you.

Question 15
