A clinic hallway, a dental operatory and a memory-care corridor have one thing in common: people spend time staring at the wall. A wall printer puts something worth looking at there, printed directly on the surface, with no panels to hang and no seams to clean around.
What gets printed
- Treatment rooms. A calm scene on the wall a patient faces.
- Corridors. Nature scenes and color that make a long hallway feel shorter.
- Wayfinding. Department colors and directions printed on the wall and the floor.
- Memory care. Familiar scenes and landmarks along the corridor.
- Lobbies. The brand and the welcome, in the place everyone waits.
Printing in a working space
Clinics can’t close for a week. The printer sets up at the wall, prints at 10 to 20 square feet an hour and needs no adhesive or cutting on site. A treatment room is usually done in a day, and a corridor prints in sections around the schedule.
What to plan for
Hospitals, clinics and senior living clean hard and often, and corridors come with their own code requirements. Every space is different, so bring your cleaning products and your spec to the first call, and the team will give you a recommendation for each area. Fire rating, cleaning and floor wear covers what to ask before you specify it.
Who does the work
Most practices hire a local operator who owns a printer. Health systems and senior living groups with many sites sometimes print in house, so every building gets the same wayfinding on the same schedule. See all of the healthcare and senior living applications.
