Service add-on
Add surface printing to the business you already run
Flooring crews, sign shops, painters and contractors add printed graphics to the jobs they're already on. Same crew, same trucks, same clients, one more line on the quote.
Your crews are already on job sites. With one printer, they print logos, floors and walls for the clients you already have.
Surface printing is the whole business? See the owner-operator path.
Step 1 · Is it a fit?
It fits if your crews already
This path is for companies with trucks, crews and clients already. Surface printing becomes one more thing you sell on the jobs you're already doing.
Go to job sites every week. The printer rides along with the crew.
Get asked for logos, wayfinding or murals. Now you say yes instead of sending it out.
Sub out vinyl, sign panels or painted graphics. Keep that work in house.
Want one more line on the quote. Not a second company to run.
What it looks like on the job
Same trucks, one more thing in them
Three printers packed for the truck. The crew that installs the floor prints the logo on it the same visit.
Back at the shop: a wall mural on plywood, a logo on a floor panel, prints on wood, metal and acrylic.
Who adds it
Trades that add it first
Flooring and epoxy
Logos, court marks and lobby graphics printed on the floor job you're already on. The Floor Series is built for it.
Sign shops
Print straight onto the wall, the glass or the door instead of cutting, weeding and hanging vinyl.
Painters and muralists
Let the printer handle the detail and the big walls. Spend your hours where the brush matters.
Contractors and installers
Offices, schools and fit-outs ask for graphics at the end of the job. Now that work stays with you.

Owners
What owners say about the support
Support within the hour
“Our biggest focus was customer service. Yes, we spent a little more on the printer, but in turn, I have access to customer support within the hour or less.”
Terry B.
Owner, Viking Designs & Graphics, Lubbock, TX
A week of painting, done in an hour
“I had just hand painted our logo in our office lobby, and it took me a week. As soon as we saw the printer, I was like, my gosh, we could have done that in an hour.”
Kelly J.
Owner, Modrn Ink, Madison, AL
A company that still answers the phone
“It's rare these days to find a company that still answers the phone, follows up, and actually cares about customer success after the sale. The Wall Printer absolutely does.”

Questions
What service businesses ask
What does it add to a quote?
A line for printed graphics at $20 to $40 a square foot that the next bidder can't offer. Ink is about fifty cents a square foot, and a feature wall is an afternoon.
Who runs it?
Whoever on your crew is organized and good with files. One full day of training in Wilmington, NC, and the help desk after, 9am to 8pm ET, seven days.
Which printer?
Floors first means the Floor Series ($39,995). Walls, glass and doors run on the Pro Series ($44,995) or the Tech Series ($39,995). Tell us the work and we'll say which fits.
Does it ride in the truck?
Yes. The printer breaks down, sets up at the surface in about twenty minutes and needs power nearby.
What about upkeep?
About twenty minutes every other day it runs. The pump box circulates ink every twelve hours on its own.
In your shop
Fill the gaps between wall jobs
The printer doesn’t need a wall to stay busy. Stand a panel upright in your shop and print canvas, aluminum, acrylic, tile, slate or cabinet doors. Shop work fills slow weeks, rainy days and the days between on-site jobs.
- Steady workPieces you can print any day, not just when a wall is booked.
- New customersSign shops, cabinet makers, tile and stone suppliers, artists and designers.
- No site setupPrint in your own space and hand off finished pieces.
