FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
What is wall printing and how does it work?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.
-
Why choose wall printing over vinyl or a traditional muralist?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.
-
What surfaces can you print on?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.
-
Is wall printing safe indoors?Yes. We use eco-friendly, low-odor, UV-cured inks that are safe for indoor environments — including homes, schools, offices, restaurants, and medical facilities.
-
How much does wall printing cost?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.
-
What determines whether a print is $20 or $40 per square foot?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.
-
Do you charge for consultations or design mockups?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.
-
How big can you print?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.
-
Can you print small designs too?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.
-
How long does it take to complete a job?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.
-
Can the prints be removed or painted over later?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.
-
Do you offer custom artwork?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.
-
Can you print outdoors?Yes. Our inks are UV- and weather-resistant, making them ideal for outdoor walls, signage, garage doors, stucco, and even exterior brick or metal.
-
Do you offer discounts?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.
