Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about direct wall printing, from surfaces and artwork to pricing and timelines.
The Basics
Direct wall printing uses a UV printer to print your artwork straight onto the wall. There is no wallpaper, vinyl, or adhesive involved. The ink bonds with the surface and cures instantly under UV light, so the image becomes part of the wall itself.
Indoors, UV-cured wall prints typically hold up for 10+ years without fading, peeling, or bubbling. Because the ink bonds directly to the wall surface, there's no vinyl layer that can lift or degrade over time.
For most interior applications, yes. Direct wall printing gives a seamless, joint-free finish with no risk of peeling or bubbling, and it holds photographic detail that vinyl decals typically can't match.
Homes, offices, cafes, restaurants, retail stores, hotels, clinics, schools, and showrooms. If you have a wall and an idea, we can print it, whether that's a full-wall mural, a feature wall, a logo, or a brand message.
Surfaces & Finish
Our UV printers bond directly to both smooth and textured surfaces, including drywall, painted walls, concrete, brick, cinder block, glass, tile, and metal - no primer or vinyl backing required.
In most cases, no. The wall should be clean, dry, and structurally sound. If there is flaking paint, damp patches, or large cracks, we'll flag them during the site check and advise on the simplest fix before printing.
In most cases, yes. We plan around printer clearance near corners, ceilings, floors, and fixtures ahead of time, and confirm the exact printable area in your artwork proof before we start.
Light texture is fine and often adds depth to the final look. Very rough or deeply grooved surfaces can soften fine detail, so we recommend a quick site visit or a few photos of your wall before confirming the artwork.
Artwork
Yes. Send us your artwork, logo, or photograph and we'll check that the resolution is good enough for the wall size. If it isn't, we'll suggest improvements or alternatives.
Yes. Tell us about your space, colours, and mood, and we can help you choose from ready artwork or develop a custom design to suit the wall.
Yes. We share an artwork proof scaled to your wall, including the printable area, so you can approve the layout, cropping, and colours before anything goes on the wall.
We colour-manage every job, but screens, wall colour, and room lighting all influence how a print looks. If exact brand colours matter, tell us early and we can run a small test print on your wall.
Pricing & Timeline
Pricing depends on wall size, surface type, and artwork complexity. Use our instant estimate calculator for a realistic project price, including delivery and printer setup.
Most walls are printed in a day or less. Because the ink cures instantly under UV light, there is no drying time, so you can use the room straight after we finish. Larger or multi-wall projects may take longer, and we'll confirm the schedule when you approve the quote.
Often, yes. The process is dust-free and the ink dries instantly, so it causes far less disruption than painting or wallpapering. For busy spaces we can also schedule printing after hours.
Get an estimate from the calculator or send us your wall size and a few photos. We'll confirm the quote, share your artwork proof, and schedule the print date once you approve.
Care & Changes
Dust it with a soft dry cloth, or wipe gently with a slightly damp microfibre cloth. Avoid abrasive pads and harsh chemical cleaners, which can dull the surface.
A printed wall can be repainted like any other wall, so you can refresh the space whenever you like. There is no vinyl or wallpaper to strip off first.
Cured UV ink is a stable, low-odour finish, and most rooms can be used again as soon as printing is done. If you have specific requirements, such as a nursery or a healthcare space, let us know when you enquire and we'll advise.
