Mural Reproduction


Hello people I came upon this site while doing a google search for printers, and I'm hopeful I may be able to finds some guidance here. My situation is this...I've been painting murals for a new restaurant franchise, I've done 5 so far, all for the originators of the franchise. Now however, sales have started, and to date 33 have been sold. The originators have concerns about my ability to hand paint each new location, especially next year when they plan to go national...the murals completely wrap the interior of each restaurant......the largest one (and the exception, most are smaller) took me about two weeks to paint.
They want to look into having my work printed, thinking it will save time and money. I will continue to paint as many as I can, but prints would be used when I can't fit them all into a manageble schedule. I would really like to stay in control of the situation (not to mention my artwork), but I'm clueless on how to find a printer able to do this work. Can anyone advise? Please

Sounds like a job for ProWallGuy. I think he knows all about that stuff.

Re: Mural Reproduction


It was actually a thread of ProWallGuy that popped up in my google search and led me here to this forum. I am hoping he can advise me. Let me expand a little too.........the one larger job that I mentioned, that took about two weeks to do, was priced at just about $5000. I'm really concerned that finding a printing company to reproduce my work for equal to, or less than that is going to be nearly impossible. Sorry I can't provide the square ft on that job, these were people I've worked with in the past and was giving them a break with an hourly rate. If I had to guess, they were getting this work for less than $10 a square ft.

Re: Mural Reproduction


Muralpainter, send me a private message with your email addy, and we can discuss your options on what you want to do. I know of a few ways this can be done, and it won't be as expensive as you might think.

Re: Mural Reproduction


I also have some resources, but I can't email you with only 16 posts on board, so you will have to email me if you want them.
