GP200 Digital Wall Printer: Rail-and-Slider Drive, 6.9 kg Print Head, One-Person Setup

A digital wall printer for sign companies, renovation contractors, print shops and mural studios whose wall jobs move from one client site to the next. It is the lightest of WallPrintScale's three series and is positioned as the most precise and steadiest-printing of the three.

Digital Wall Printer for Wall Jobs That Move Between Sites

The GP200 is built for work where the machine goes to the wall. Four kinds of business each get something specific from it.

  • Fruit-slice retail graphic printed directly on a white wall

    Sign and advertising companies

    Wall graphics join the fascia, window and in-store signage of a shop fit-out. On a roll-out across several branches of one retailer, the GP200 travels from store to store with the install team.

  • Painted-style cat artwork printed on an interior wall beside the printer touchscreen

    Renovation and decoration contractors

    Feature walls are printed inside rooms that are already fitted out and often still in use, so the machine has to come in light and run quietly.

    Finished interiors · open rooms
  • Print control software on the wall printer touchscreen showing artwork thumbnails

    Large-format print shops

    Wall jobs run from the same CMYK artwork files the studio already prepares, so walls become one more output for the same team.

  • Photographic tiger portrait printed on a white wall with fine fur detail

    Mural studios and wall printing businesses

    Fine lines, small lettering and photographic portraits viewed from close up: the work where the GP200's precision shows.

Quick-Plug Modular Frame Assembled by One Person

The GP200 frame is built as modules that connect with plugs and clips. Aviation plugs join the cabling and locating pins line up each rail joint, so one operator unpacks 7 packages and stands the frame up without a second pair of hands.

First build checked remotely

An illustrated installation manual covers each step. After the first assembly, your operator films the standing machine and an engineer confirms it is ready to print.

Two client sites in one day

Two standard 2.5 m × 6 m images of 15 m² each: about 10 minutes of assembly plus about 2 hours of printing per site in Standard mode (8 m²/h) comes to about 4 h 20 min of machine time, or about 6 h 20 min in High-resolution mode (5 m²/h). Surface preparation, travel and packing down come on top. Ink for each 15 m² wall comes to about $6 at about $0.40/m² in Standard mode; the full cost and margin calculation is on Wall Printing Cost & Profit.

Rail-and-Slider Drive for Steady, Quiet Head Travel

The head carriage runs along a guide rail on sliders rather than plastic wheels. The image builds up pass by pass, and the rail keeps each pass on the same line as the last: the basis for the GP200's place as the most precise and steadiest-printing of our three series.

On the print

While the head moves, dual ultrasonic distance sensors follow surface unevenness, so the head keeps its distance on textured plaster and brick. The GP200 prints at 2880 dpi (nominal).

  • 3.0 pl droplets
  • 2880 dpi nominal
  • 1.5 cm surface tracking

In the room

The carriage runs with low noise. A feature wall in a reception area, a shop or an office prints while staff and customers are in the space, so the client keeps the room open during the job.

Drive checks before shipping

  • Rails inspected for straightness and paint finish before assembly
  • Parallelism, screw torque and printhead bracket position checked
  • Motor current, temperature rise and running noise measured

Red-Light Positioning and Zone Printing for Large Artwork

Red-light positioning
A red light shows the operator where the image starts on the wall before printing begins.
Image zone printing
One large artwork is printed section by section. Of the three series, zone printing is a GP200 feature.
Software
BetterPrint control with the Ultraprint RIP (Maintop supported); the interface runs in Chinese, English, Russian and many other languages. The basic print workflow takes about 10 minutes to learn.
Daily care
Electric ink suction, a moisturising cap and a low-ink alarm are common to the three series.

2.5 m Print Height and 20 cm Margins on All Four Sides

The GP200 leaves the same 20 cm unprinted on every side of the frame. At the base of the wall that is the smallest margin of the three series, so the image runs closer to the skirting line and artwork is laid out with one margin figure.

  1. 1 m
  2. 1 m
  3. 1 m

  8. +1 m

Six 1 m floor rail sections as standard for the 6 m image width; a corridor or shop front past that width takes more rail.

Five Printhead Options for the GP200 Digital Wall Printer

The GP200 takes original Epson printheads, with five options: the longest list of the three series.

  2. 2 × DX10Dual DX10
  3. 1 × I1600USingle I1600U
  4. 2 × I1600UDual I1600U
  5. 2 × I3200UDual I3200U

Nozzles per head

  • DX101080
  • DX71440
  • I16001600

Per the factory, heads with more nozzles print faster, are less prone to ink dropout and last longer, and they cost more. Pick against your monthly print area and budget.

GP200 Alongside the GP200B and UP200

The GP200 covers wall work at changing sites. Two neighbours in the range cover floors, taller walls and long print days at one wall.
