The short version: the TWP WP-UV-PRO ($44,995) is the most affordable of the three to buy and to run over five years, with ink at $160 per litre and no software fee. The WallPen e2 ($69,770) has the longest track record in Europe, and the VP-G6 ($55,000) publishes a 40 square feet per hour top speed, the highest published figure in this table. All three put a great image on a wall. The differences worth weighing are five year cost, parts, and who supports you along the way.

Ink cost, printhead, drive, speed and support figures for the e2 and the VP-G6 come from the Wall Printer Buyers Guide published by Vertical Printers, 2026. The VP-G6 price reflects Vertical Printers' 2026 increase to $55,000. WP-UV-PRO figures from the Pro Series specification and the August 2026 site audit. Our speed is a range because it moves with resolution and color mode, roughly 30 at 600 DPI and slower as you climb toward 2400. The other two are single published figures with neither attached.
Over $51,000 less to own over five years than the premium European option, with US parts, US engineering, and lifetime support included. Most of the spread is simply ink and software.
No. There are no royalties, no revenue share, no territory fees, and no requirement to use our name. You own the company, the brand, and the customer list. Some articles in this category describe us otherwise; the facts above are checkable with any of the owners whose phone numbers we publish.
The Pro Series runs one 1 x Epson i3200, 3,200 nozzles, 8 color channels, CMYK + white. More channels means CMYK plus white on a single head, which is what lets you print dark walls and glass in one pass. DPI numbers in this category get waved around freely; the printhead architecture is the number that changes your day.
Our machines print 15 to 30 square feet per hour depending on resolution and color mode. That is squarely normal for the category: WallPen's own FAQ calls 22 to 32 square feet per hour the practical ideal, and their US distributor publishes about 43 in standard mode. Any figure far outside that range deserves your skepticism, whoever publishes it.
We publish 5 years on new equipment, in writing. WallPen's homepage says 5 years while their FAQ says 1. Vertical Printers publishes warranty per reseller. Ask every vendor for the written terms and read them; ours are the easiest to get.
We are the OEM. The Wall Printer co-owns HKHR, the precision manufacturer whose metalwork goes into our machines, and represents it across the Western Hemisphere. Parts are sourced globally, as they are for every serious equipment company, and the precision metal work from HKHR is top of class. Every machine is engineered, assembled, tested and supported from our building in Wilmington, North Carolina. If you see HKHR ranked separately on an import listicle, now you know why the machines look familiar: that company is partly ours.
Because you are not buying a printer, you are buying the five years after it arrives: the ink supply chain, the training, the support desk that answers, and a parts shelf in North Carolina. The cheap hardware is $10,000. The downtime, the language barrier and the two month wait for a part are the rest of the invoice, and they arrive later, when you already have a customer waiting.
You are in Europe, close to its factory and service network, and the install base there matters more to you than price. Its five printheads and German engineering have a long record; you pay for both, in machine cost and in $500 per litre ink.
Published top speed is your deciding number: 40 square feet an hour is the fastest figure of the three, with no software fee. It is a newer line, launched 2025, sold from Asheville with parts and engineering from China, and head replacement is the most expensive here at $6,000.
Total cost and support are your deciding numbers: the most affordable machine in this comparison to buy and to run, $160 per litre ink, a $2,000 printhead, no software fee, a 5 year warranty, and lifetime support from the Wilmington team that engineered it. 350+ machines in the field since 2020.
Call the manufacturer, call a reseller, then call owners who run each machine. Three of ours have their real numbers published on this site and will take your call with nobody from TWP on the line.
