Wall Printer Customization: Configurations Matched to Your Jobs

Wall printer customization at WallPrintScale is a short list of choices made before your machine is built: floor printing or walls only, print height, base, ink set, printhead, motion structure, how far it dismantles, and extras such as a logo, UPS backup or WiFi.

Each choice below names the customer and the job it suits. Answer one question first: which walls, and which floors, will this machine meet in its first year? A sign shop, a home decorator and a fit-out contractor answer it differently, so they get different machines.

Wall printer customization starts at the printhead: Epson I3200 printhead held in hand, nozzle plate facing up

Floor Printing Function: GP200B or a Walls-Only Series

Only one series prints floors: the GP200B. Its print unit rotates from the wall to the floor without taking up the rails, so the GP200 and UP200 are walls-only machines. Decide this first in any wall printer customization, because it fixes the series.

≈ 2 minwall-to-floor rotation
3 mfloor rail width
≤ 2.3 mfloor image width
60 kgGP200B net weight

Order the GP200B if

  • You are a fit-out or engineering contractor whose shop, school, gym or office jobs include floors as well as walls.
  • You supply retail and events: in-store floor wayfinding, exhibition stands, hotel lobby floor graphics.
  • You quote schools and sports facilities: playground games, kindergarten floors, court and gym markings, car park bay numbers.
  • You want one visit per site: walls first, rotate in about 2 minutes, floor next, same files, rails not relaid.

Walls only is enough if

  • Floors never appear in your briefs: murals, shop and office walls, homes, restaurants.
  • Weight matters most: the GP200 weighs 45 kg net against the GP200B's 60 kg and packs into seven small parcels.
  • Your sites lose power: the UP200 has power-loss resume built in; on the GP200B it is a UPS option.

Converting a column machine for floor work commonly takes around 20 minutes per switch; the GP200B is built to rotate in about 2. Floor durability and slip resistance depend on the coating or laminate specified for the project, so test before use; outdoor exposure depends on the finish specified. Floor graphics printing

Print Height and Rail Height: 2.5 m to a Custom 4 m

Print height is the tallest image the machine covers in one go up the wall. Choose it from the tallest walls you are asked to quote, not the average one: a wall above your print height means a second pass and a join.

    Hotel lobbies, atriums, sports halls and tall feature walls. Built to the height you order and stated in the quotation.

Margins count too. On the GP200B the bottom margin is 50 cm, so a standard 2.5 m image runs from about 0.5 m to about 3 m above the floor. Margins for every series are listed on the GP200, GP200B and UP200 pages.

Machine Base: Floor Rails, Wheels or Both

The lower half of the machine decides how it travels along a wall. Rails give a fixed straight path; wheels let you roll from wall to wall without laying anything. The UP200 runs on rails; on the GP200 and GP200B you choose.

SeriesBase options
GP200Floor rails (1 m sections, six as standard) or wheeled base
GP200BWheeled base or rail base; floors print on its 3 m wide floor rail
UP200Rail base under the column

Rails suit print companies and contractors who stay on one site for days: school and hospital corridors, long shopfront runs, a mural the full length of a warehouse wall. The image width grows by adding sections.

Wheels suit decorators and sign shops doing several short walls a day, in homes or shops that stay open, where rails across the floor get in the way. Choose them where the floor is level enough to roll on.

LONG RUNS · ONE SITE FOR DAYS

Floor rails

On the GP200, six 1 m sections give a 6 m image width; a corridor or shopfront past 6 m takes extra sections.

Ink Set: CMYK or CMYK + White by Wall Colour

Every series prints UV ink in one of two sets. The difference is one layer: CMYK + W lays down white first and prints the colour image over it, so the choice comes down to the colour of the surfaces your customers own.

colour imagelight wall

CMYK

Four colours printed straight onto the surface; the wall gives the white of the image. For businesses whose jobs are white and light-painted walls: offices, homes, classrooms, most shop interiors.

≈ 2 ml/m² · ≈ $0.40/m², Standard mode

colour imagedark wall or glass+ white layer

CMYK + W

The same four colours plus a white channel, for two kinds of job:

  • Dark and coloured walls: bars, restaurants, brand-colour feature walls; the white underbase keeps colours true.
  • Glass: shopfronts and office partitions, where the image needs a white ground to read.

white ink stirred automatically in the tank

Which to order
Dark, coloured or glass surfaces in your jobs: CMYK + W. Only white and light walls: CMYK. If you expect dark walls later, say so at order and start with white ink; the machine arrives set up for it.
What white adds
An extra layer of ink and print time. A white underbase or full white layer raises ink use above the $0.40 per m² CMYK figure, by an amount that depends on the artwork.

Surface preparation, either ink set

Ordinary walls need no treatment. Painted, plastered or putty walls that absorb ink are printed directly once they are dry and flat.

Only smooth, non-absorbent surfaces take a coating first: glass, tile, metal, acrylic. Where your enquiry lists them, the coating is included in the quotation. Results are application-dependent and sample testing on your surface is recommended; sample prints can be arranged on request. Surfaces and applications

Epson Printhead Comparison: DX10, DX7, I1600 and I3200

All three series take original Epson printheads, and the quotation names the exact head fitted. The series decides which heads are on offer; the nozzle count decides the trade-off between them.

Show a head:

U = the I1600U / I3200U head versions fitted on the GP200, which has the longest list at five head options

Nozzle count against head cost

Per the factory, a head with more nozzles prints faster, is less prone to ink dropout and lasts longer, and it costs more. The ranking is qualitative. Rated speed is quoted per series, the same 8 / 8 / 5 m²/h in Draft, Standard and High-resolution, not per head.

Nozzles108014401600
SpeedSlowestMiddleFastest
Ink dropoutMost proneFewer dropoutsLeast prone
Service lifeShortestLongerLongest
Head costLowestBetweenHighest

The head you choose is the head you reorder. A printhead wears with use, so its price recurs over the machine's life. Exact head prices come with the quotation; on the GP200 and GP200B, ask for an I3200 option alongside.

Printhead Selection by Customer Type and Monthly Print Area

Your monthly print area is walls times their size, and that figure points to a head. Hours are planned on the series speed rating, so one standard wall image sets the scale:

≈ 3 hHigh-resolution mode, at about 5 m²/h

  • A few walls a month

    A sign shop or decorator adding wall printing to an existing service. With few square metres to print, the lowest head cost counts most.

  • Wall jobs most weeks

    A print shop selling walls as a standing service next to banners and signs. The DX7 sits between the other two on head cost and head life.

  • Walls most days, long print days

    A mural studio or contractor printing corridors and large walls through full days. The I1600's higher head cost is spread over the most square metres.

  • Above an I1600 workload

    The I3200 is listed on the GP200 and GP200B. If your workload sits above what an I1600 handles for you today, ask for an I3200 option in the same quotation.

Motion Structure: Guide Rail and Slider, Belt Drive or Aluminium Column

How the print head travels up and along the wall differs by series, and it decides noise, precision, set-up and value. In wall printer customization, choose the structure from where you print most: occupied interiors, walls plus floors, or long runs on one site.

The carriage runs on a guide rail with sliders rather than plastic wheels, so it runs quieter and holds its line.

Dismantling and Transport: Seven Parcels, a Car Boot or a Column Machine
