Printing Wall Graphics

Yes. With the right setup, you can create wallpaper that combines full-colour design with raised texture in a single step. This is done using a heat-reactive media and a structural ink.

When heat is applied, the media expands, while the ink blocks expansion in specific areas. The result is a textured effect formed directly within the printed design. This digital process requires no embossing or additional finishing and is well suited to feature walls, luxury interiors and sensory spaces.

It depends on the type of wall graphic you want to produce.

For tiled murals, decals or full-wall coverage, a roll-fed printer using eco-solvent, resin or UV inks is typically used with self-adhesive film or wallpaper media.

For custom shapes or stickers, a print-and-cut workflow lets you design and contour cut in one process.

If you're producing simple vinyl lettering or shapes with no printing, a standalone cutter is sufficient.

For premium wallpaper with texture, you will need a system that supports structured media and compatible inks.

The right solution depends on your applications, materials and production volume.

Yes. The print technologies used for wall graphics are designed to meet the needs of indoor environments, including homes, schools, offices and retail spaces. Inks used with eco-solvent, resin and UV printers are typically low in odour and low in VOCs, and many are certified for indoor air quality.

This makes them suitable for use in spaces with regular public access or extended occupancy. When choosing media, look for options that are compatible with your printer and intended application, especially in sensitive or regulated environments such as healthcare or education.

Wall graphics can be produced on a wide range of materials depending on the surface, purpose and finish required.

Self-adhesive vinyl is commonly used for tiled murals and full-wall panels, offering strong durability and clean results. Removable wall films are ideal for temporary or repositionable graphics.

For interior décor, wallpaper-grade media is available in both smooth and textured finishes, including specialist expanding media used in texture-enabled printing.

This type of media reacts to heat to form raised effects within the design.

Other options include canvas for wall art, translucent film for lightboxes and coated banner material for short-term indoor signage. Always choose media that suits your print technology and the demands of the installation.

Yes. Many wall graphics are designed with removable or repositionable adhesives, allowing them to be taken down cleanly when needed.

This is ideal for seasonal promotions, rented interiors or temporary displays.

Other graphics use permanent adhesive for long-term installations where durability matters more than removability.

The ability to remove a graphic depends entirely on the media used, not the printer or ink.

For best results, always apply graphics to smooth, properly prepared surfaces and choose media rated for your intended lifespan and use case.

No specialised machinery is needed, but good preparation and the right tools make a big difference.

For most adhesive graphics, you will need a squeegee, masking tape, a cutting knife and a clean, flat surface.

Larger panels may require two people to align accurately.

Walls must be clean, dry and free from dust or loose paint.

For wallpaper-style graphics or textured prints, the installation method depends on the media.

Some are self-adhesive, while others may require paste or a separate mounting process.

Always follow the media supplier's guidance, and consider using a professional installer for complex or high-value jobs.
