Frequently Asked Questions
We are not constrained to only print on drywall. There are many different surface types which we can print on including but not limited to the following:
- Concrete
- Glass
- Brick
- Metal
- Canvas...
Generally speaking, we can work around any obstables found on a wall. We ask that you remove any electrical outlet or lightswitch covers before we come out to print. Each situation is unique and if the obstacle is too large or can't be removed
we can design around the obstacle in most cases to create the wall art tha you have been looking for.
Because our printer is on tracks we can print as far as we want for the width of the image. The height is typically limited to 13 - 15 ft high depending on the surface and print space - again if there are obstacles such as lights or ceiling fixtures those will need to be accounted for.
Just like a printer at home; printing on a white or light colored wall is the most straight forward and easiest way for us to print.
We can print on dark colored walls with our 'White Ink' feature for an extra cost which will spray a layer of white first on the wall before printing any image to make sure the colors pop. This does not increase the print time but does increase the amount of ink coverage.
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.
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.
