Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is wall printing and how does it work?

Wall printing uses a vertical printer to apply high-resolution artwork directly onto a wall surface with precision and durability. The machine moves along the wall while printing the design seamlessly from bottom to top.

​​

2. How is wall printing different from wallpaper or vinyl decals?

From experience...Many differences (vinyl limits full color). Wall printing creates a seamless, paint-like finish with no bubbles, seams, or peeling. Unlike wallpaper or vinyl, the artwork is printed directly onto the wall for a more permanent professional result.

 

3. Can you print on any wall surface?
