Applications · Schools and gyms
Athletic directors, principals and district facilities teams use Surface Printers to put mascots, records boards, hallway murals and reading-corner art straight onto painted block and drywall.
Who it's for
Schools buy wall art the hard way: an artist for a week, a vinyl order that takes a month, or a mural that never gets updated. Think about it this way: the printer can live in the district and go where the walls are.
Athletics
Gym walls, mascots, records boards, weight rooms and locker rooms. Change the records board when the record changes.
Schools
Hallway murals, values walls, library and classroom art, the school crest at the front door. All printed on site, after hours, on breaks or over a weekend.
Districts
One printer can serve every school in the district, scheduled around the calendar instead of an installer's. It can be financed, or bought from a capital budget.
What gets printed
Mascots, crests, records boards, reading corners, values walls and graduation walls. Full color, white ink standard, straight onto painted block, drywall and brick, up to 11 feet high.
Middle school crest and students, hallway.

Sports mural across a gym wall.
Gym wall decals and wraps
Ordered, shipped, installed, and replaced when they peel or the record changes. Printing direct puts the ink on the block.
Hand-painted mascots
An artist's week becomes a printed day, and every school in the district gets the same mascot in the same color.
Banners and posters
Art that's part of the wall instead of hanging on it.
How a job runs
01
The printer rolls down the hallway on its track and prints up to 11 feet high. Training covers the prep for painted block, drywall and brick.
02
10 to 20 sq ft an hour. A 100 square foot mascot is a day or two, and the ink cures as it prints.
03
Same file, same color, next building. A district printer travels in a van to wherever the next wall is.
Walls run on the Pro Series or the Tech Series, both vertical UV printers with white ink standard, at $44,995 and $39,995. Gym floors and center court logos run on the Floor Series at $39,995. Every package includes training, lifetime support and up to five years of hardware warranty on new machines.
Questions

The material is ink, about fifty cents a square foot. A 100 square foot mascot is about $50 in ink, plus your operator's time.
Yes, with the Floor Series. Every gym floor and finish is different, so send Jason a photo of the court and how it's maintained, and he'll recommend the approach and what to expect.
A facilities tech, an art teacher, or anyone on staff who's comfortable with a file. Training is one full day, recorded, and support is lifetime, 9am to 8pm ET, seven days a week.
