WallPress held live demonstrations of its wallPen e2 model at the FESPA Africa and Sign Africa Expo, which was held from 13-15 September at Gallagher Convention Centre.
Dubbed as the gold standard in vertical wall printing, the wallPen e2 can print on almost any vertical surface, even rough, textured surfaces. Built into the head are two laser sensors that scan the surface more than 500 times a second as they moves up and down. If unevenness is detected, the head automatically retracts and moves closer to the wall in order to keep the nozzles the same distance from the surface as it sprays the ink.
The built-in laser sensors compensate for unevenness, up to a distance of 10cm, by measuring the largest and smallest distance to the wall. Using this information, the wallPen e2 optimally adapts the printing process to the conditions, and ensures seamless performance with impressive results, even on vastly uneven surfaces such as brick.
During the three day expo, the wallPen e2 ran tirelessly while printing on a section of wall at the company’s stand, while visitors to the expo crowded around to see its capabilities. Each day the wall was painted over for the machine to start afresh. Founder and industry veteran, Shaun Prinsloo, reported lots of leads and prospects from the show, and an overall great response.
