The Process
How Direct-to-Wall Printing Works
From blank wall to finished mural in four steps.
Consult
Tell us about your wall, your space, and the feeling you want to create. We visit in person and start with listening. No assumptions, no off-the-shelf answers.
Design
Bring your own artwork, choose from our curated library, or commission one of our artists. We size everything to your exact wall dimensions and share it for your approval before we book.
We arrive with the equipment and complete the print in a single on-site session. Most walls are done the same day. No mess, no disruption to your space.
Yours
No cure time, no follow-up visit, no mess left behind. Your wall is complete when we leave. The UV-cured colour is built to hold for years.
Technology
Powered by the Wallpen E2.
Wallinks operates the Wallpen E2, a German-engineered direct-to-wall printing system built for precision, not volume. Where low-cost alternatives fade in the first Gulf summer, the Wallpen E2 lays UV-cured ink with sub-millimetre accuracy across walls, ceilings, and floors in a single uninterrupted pass.
The Wallpen E2 is calibrated for the heat and humidity of the Gulf. Its UV-LED curing locks colour into the surface the moment it lands. No drying time, no follow-up. The finish looks the same in year five as it did on day one.

Cure Time

Origin
German-engineered
Water-Resistant
Water-resistant once cured. Suitability for wet areas depends on the surface and exposure, so we assess each wall first.
UV-Resistant
Our inks are formulated to resist UV degradation, keeping colours vibrant for years even in bright, sunlit spaces.
Scratch-Resistant
The cured ink layer is hardened to resist everyday contact, scuffs, and light abrasion without lifting or peeling.
Low Odour
Low odour after curing. Ask us for the ink datasheet before you book.
Easy to Clean
The surface can be wiped down with a damp cloth. No special cleaning products required.
No Vinyl Required
We print directly onto the wall. No adhesive films, no peeling edges, no visible seams.
Environmentally Friendlier
UV-curing uses less energy than solvent-based alternatives.

Before we print
Wall Preparation Checklist
Run through these checks before your appointment. They help us spot issues early, and we confirm readiness for your specific wall after reviewing your photos.
Inspect the surface
Look for cracks, loose plaster, flaking paint, stains, dampness and uneven repairs.
Confirm it is dry
Check recently painted areas, repaired patches and anywhere with a history of water damage.
Clean the print area
Remove dust, grease and fingerprints using a method suited to the wall finish.
Measure the usable space
Note the width and height, plus sockets, switches, doors, trim and fixed fittings.
Check access
Our team needs room to bring in the printer and work along the full print area.
Share the details before booking
Send photos, measurements, the surface type and your design idea so we can advise on anything else needed.
What We Cannot Print On
The printer follows the surface beneath it. It cannot fix a wall that is not ready, so we will not print on:
- Damp walls or active water stains, until the cause is resolved
- Flaking or peeling paint, loose plaster or open cracks
- Freshly painted or repaired walls that have not fully cured
- Surfaces with grease, oil or silicone-containing coatings
- Deeply textured or heavily jointed surfaces, when the design needs fine detail
Glass, tile, metal and some coated surfaces can be printed, but we run an adhesion test first.
