If you are shopping for a UV wall printer in the United States, two names come up quickly: Vertiq and The Wall Printer. This page is written by Vertiq, so read it with that in mind — and hold us to the same standard we suggest you hold every vendor to. Everything stated here about Vertiq machines is verifiable from our own spec sheets and terms. Everything about the other brand is deliberately general, because we do not publish numbers for a machine we do not build.

The short answer
Both companies sell direct-to-wall UV printers into the US market. The Wall Printer is an established US brand in this category with its own dealer network and product range; for current specifications, pricing and terms, check their site at thewallprinter.com. Vertiq sells five models, assembled and shipped from California, priced from $13,700 to $22,600, supported by a US-based English-speaking team in Sherman Oaks, California. The right choice depends on print height, whether you need floors, and how you feel about each vendor's answers to the questions at the end of this article.
What we can state about Vertiq
These are the facts we publish and stand behind:
We do not publish warranty lengths, training packages or certifications in marketing copy. Those terms are confirmed in writing with each quote, and you should insist on the same from any vendor.

How to read a comparison like this one
Vendor-published comparisons are marketing, including this one. The useful part is not the verdict; it is the list of fields. Print the table above, delete our column, and fill both columns yourself from primary sources: spec sheets, written quotes, and sales calls you take notes on. Any field a vendor will not fill in writing is a field you cannot plan a business around.
Two fields deserve special attention because buyers routinely misread them.
Print height versus print size. Unlimited width sounds like the headline number, but height is the real constraint: it decides whether you can cover a two-storey lobby wall in one job or have to reposition and align. Ask for the maximum height *and* the minimum clearance from floor and ceiling. Ours is 2.4 m and 50 cm respectively.
Head count versus head function. Two printheads only help if one is dedicated to white ink, which is what keeps colour accurate on dark, coloured and transparent surfaces. Ask what each head does, not how many there are — and be careful with model names, including ours, that use "dual" to mean something other than head count.
Where the two brands genuinely differ
The honest answer is that we do not know, in verifiable detail, and neither will you until both vendors have answered you in writing. What we can say is what we optimise for: US assembly and shipping, a support line answered in English on the same business day, parts that ship domestically, and payment terms stated up front rather than negotiated after a deposit. Whether that matters more to you than any other factor depends on how much downtime would cost your business.
10 questions to ask both vendors
Ask these in email so you have the answers in writing.
If a vendor answers all ten in writing, you can compare properly. If they will not, that is your answer.
