Custom Wall Murals & Wall Printing in Pasadena

Quick Answer

Custom wall murals and direct-to-wall UV printing in Pasadena, California — artwork printed directly onto existing walls on site, with no wallpaper or adhesive. UV light cures the ink during printing, and the design is reviewed in a digital proof before production.

Old Buildings, New Surfaces

Pasadena has more period building stock than most of the county, and that changes the conversation. Craftsman and Spanish Revival houses, converted commercial buildings around Old Pasadena and Colorado Boulevard, and long-established institutions all bring surfaces that are not simply flat modern drywall — plaster, panelling, previously papered walls, decades of repainting.

We survey the surface before quoting rather than after. A sound, smooth plaster wall prints beautifully. A wall with a failing paint layer or heavy relief texture needs preparation first, and we say which one you have from a photograph before anyone commits to a date.

Restaurants and Hospitality

The hospitality work here is character-driven: dining rooms that want a historic photograph at wall scale, a botanical or garden treatment, a hand-illustrated map, a heritage motif that references the building. Printing suits it because the artwork can be one continuous piece across an irregular older wall rather than a set of panels fighting the geometry.

Practically, restaurants are printed between service or on a closed day, floors and fixtures are protected, and the room is usable immediately because the ink is cured as it is printed.

Schools, Campuses and Institutions

Pasadena has an unusually high concentration of schools, colleges and civic institutions, and they form a steady part of the work — mascots in gyms, values walls in corridors, library and STEM-room graphics, donor recognition walls.

These projects are scheduled into breaks or after hours and are almost always completed in a single visit per wall, which is the reason institutions choose printing over painted murals: there is no artist on site for a fortnight and no barriered-off corridor. Our school and campus murals page covers the process and approvals in detail.

Site protection, access and clean handover follow construction-trade practice, since the printing division is operated by Deco Print Renovations, CSLB License #1155602.

What We Print in Pasadena

Every mural type below is printed the same way — a vertical UV printer is brought into your Pasadena space and the artwork is cured straight onto the existing wall. Nothing is hung, pasted or stuck on.

How It Works

1. Send a wall photo. One straight-on photo with the whole surface in frame, plus the rough width and height in feet, is enough to quote.

2. Get a free visual preview. We return a to-scale mockup of the artwork on your own wall, together with pricing — usually the same day.

3. We print on-site. The printer comes to your Pasadena address, floors and fixtures are protected, and the ink is cured by UV light as it prints, so the room is usable as soon as we pack down.

Preparing Your Pasadena Space for Printing

Start with a straight-on photograph showing the whole wall, approximate width and height in feet, and your artwork or a reference image. Include doors, windows, sockets and fixed furniture in the photograph: these affect the printable area and the position of the design. A to-scale digital preview lets you check the crop and placement before production, rather than making those decisions while the printer is on site. For a fixed surface, tell us about building access and when the room is available so the printing visit can be planned around your home or business.

Surface Condition, Artwork and Scheduling

Clean, sound painted drywall provides an even base. Loose paint, dust, oil or damaged areas need attention before ink is applied; priming or repairs depend on the actual surface. Texture remains part of the finished appearance, so show it in your photos instead of assuming the image will hide it. Glass, wood, metal, canvas, aluminum and foam board offer different visual effects and may suit a portable panel when a permanent wall print is not appropriate. Review the image at its intended size and discuss any important logo colors or photographic detail during the proof stage.

Printing begins after artwork approval and access are agreed. Floors and adjacent fixtures are protected, the printer is positioned and calibrated, and UV light cures the ink during each pass. Most single-wall projects are completed in one visit, but area, preparation and access determine the schedule; larger or multi-wall work is planned in sessions. Restaurants, shops and occupied workplaces can discuss printing outside trading hours. The studio at 15260 Ventura Blvd in Sherman Oaks coordinates on-site work across Los Angeles County, so include your Pasadena address and desired timing with the initial project details.

Care and Future Changes

The UV-cured surface is dry as it prints, with no wallpaper paste or adhesive layer to peel away. Routine care uses a damp cloth rather than aggressive abrasion. For high-touch or frequently cleaned areas, discuss a protective clear coat and suitable care before printing. Durability depends on the base surface, light exposure and how the wall is used; a printed image does not repair failing paint beneath it. If the room is redesigned later, the mural can be primed and repainted. If you need artwork that can move with you, ask about canvas or printed panels instead of a direct wall installation.
