What direct to wall UV printing actually is
The printer climbs the wall on its own rail and prints the artwork straight onto the surface. There is no wallpaper to hang, no vinyl to apply and no joins to line up, so the finished wall is one continuous image at full resolution.
One continuous image
Width is not limited, so a whole corridor or facade prints as a single piece with no seams.
4 m standard, 6 m extended
Standard reach is four metres. The longer extension takes the machine up to six metres for tall walls and atriums.
Prints on rough surfaces
Plaster, concrete, brick, wood, glass and metal are all printable, with pre-treatment supplied where a surface needs it.
Set up in about 30 minutes
One person can set the machine up alone, which keeps site time and labour cost down on commercial jobs.
The projects it is built for
Anywhere a printed wall would normally mean wallpaper, vinyl or a hand painted mural. The machine goes to the site, so the wall never has to come to a workshop.
Showrooms and retail
Full height brand walls and product imagery printed directly onto the showroom wall.
Offices and reception walls
Reception branding, wayfinding and feature walls printed on site with no downtime for installation.
Glass and partitions
Printing directly onto glass for privacy, branding and decorative partitions in offices and hospitality.
Hospitality interiors
Feature walls and decorative artwork for hotels, restaurants and leisure spaces.
How the print holds up
The ink is a UV cured, vegan, EU made formulation that is non flammable and used across every surface the machine prints on. Indoor prints stay durable for at least twelve years.
12 years indoors
Indoor prints are rated durable for at least twelve years, so a branded wall is not a yearly cost.
Scratch and water resistant
The cured film is scratch and abrasion resistant, waterproof and solvent resistant.
True colour, CMYK plus white
White ink means artwork holds up on dark and coloured walls, and ICC profiles keep colour accurate.
Reversible when you need it
Prints can be painted over in two or three coats, scraped from glass, or sanded and blasted from wood, metal and concrete.

Frequently asked questions
How high can the wallPen print?
The wallPen prints up to 4 metres high as standard, and up to 6 metres with the longer extension fitted. Print width is not limited, because the machine moves along the wall on its own rail and prints the artwork as one continuous piece with no seams or joins.
What surfaces can a wall printer print on?
The wallPen prints on almost any wall surface, including plaster, concrete, brick, wood, glass and metal, and it handles rough surfaces as well as smooth ones. Some substrates need a pre-treatment first, which PRO TECHnology supplies and guides you on, and every material should be tested before a production run.
How fast is direct to wall UV printing?
Print speed ranges from 2 to 16 square metres per hour. The actual figure depends on the wall surface, whether it is flat or curved, the number of passes, the resolution in DPI and the size of the artwork. Setup takes around 30 minutes and one person can do it alone.
How long does a printed wall last?
Indoor wallPen prints stay durable for at least 12 years. The cured UV ink is scratch and abrasion resistant, waterproof and solvent resistant, which is why it suits high traffic commercial interiors such as showrooms, retail units, offices and hotels.
Can a wall print be removed later?
Yes. On glass a print can be taken off with a ceramic hob scraper or a razor blade. On other surfaces it can be painted over in two or three layers. Wood needs sanding, and metal or concrete needs sandblasting.
Who supplies wallPen in the UAE and the Middle East?
PRO TECHnology Middle East is the official regional distributor of wallPen GmbH, the German manufacturer of vertical direct to wall printing systems. Machines are supplied, installed, trained and serviced locally from Dubai, with demonstrations available at Sun Studio in Al Quoz.
What power does the wallPen need on site?
A standard single phase socket is all that is required, and the machine is supplied with a 12 metre cable, so most commercial sites need no special electrical work before printing.
