Explore Printable Wallcovering Materials—Peel and Stick Wallpaper suits flexibility, while fabric-backed excels in toughness.

Fine Print NYC offers three roll sizes for your custom wallpaper project: 50 yards, 100 yards, and 150 yards, all with a maximum print width of 52 inches.

Note: Ask about our extra wide rolls, printable up to 58” in width.

Fine Print NYC’s custom wallpaper is built for durability, with lifespans that can stretch far beyond standard expectations—depending on material, care, and conditions. Printed at 1200 DPI with UV-cured inks for fade resistance, our wallcoverings are designed to endure:

• Fabric-Backed Type II: Starts at 15-25 years with its 20oz vinyl strength and scrubbability, but under optimal conditions (low humidity, no direct sun), it can last 40 years or more—a generational investment.

Homeowners often expect wallpaper to last decades, and our fabric-backed options—like Grasscloth or Suede — deliver with proper care (see Care Instructions for Modern Wallpaper) and optional topcoats (per How Topcoats Make Wallpapers More Durable).

Our team transforms damaged or incomplete samples into stunning custom wallpaper, overcoming imperfections with advanced tools and artistry. We start with Wallpaper Scanning at up to 800 DPI - capturing even torn edges or faded sections - then employ digital restoration to rebuild what’s missing. A single corner or partial strip - no matter how weathered - provides enough to begin, printed at 1200 DPI with UV-cured inks for vivid revival.

The restoration process - blending tech and human skill - uses software to reconstruct patterns, guided by a 20,000+ color library to infer lost hues.

Clients receive sample press proofs - up to three variants - to review the restored design under real lighting, refining details like faded gold accents or missing motifs. This meticulous approach - detailed at How to Send Wallpaper Samples for Restoration - turns relics into treasures for your Custom Wallpaper - no sample is too broken to revive.

Our policy is to expertly match textures of old wallpapers, ensuring your custom wallpaper echoes the tactile essence of vintage originals.

Printing at 1200 DPI with UV-cured inks preserves the look and feel.

Texture replication - a blend of science and craft - involves studying wear patterns and thickness, often via microscopic imaging alongside our 20,000+ color library for hue context.

Sample press proofs let you touch the match - ensuring authenticity aligns with durability.

This precision extends to specialty finishes - like Metallic Wallpapers for aged shimmer - tailored to your Custom Wallpaper vision. The Art of Restoring Vintage Prints & Patterns showcases our method - your old wallpaper’s texture lives anew, bridging history and modernity with every roll.

Advanced scanners - designed for delicate materials - capture intricate patterns, faded colors, and subtle textures, laying the groundwork for reproduction at 1200 DPI with UV-cured inks.

The workflow continues with careful handling - our team assesses the sample’s condition, cleaning it minimally to avoid damage, then calibrates the scanner to optimize contrast and depth. For Reprint Discontinued Wallpapers or Replicate Historic Wallpaper - like a peeling 1890s border - we adjust settings to reveal hidden details, exporting as TIFF or PSD for digital restoration. This step - outlined at Wallpaper Scanning - ensures clarity without compromising authenticity.

Our team achieves exceptional accuracy in historical reproductions, ensuring your custom wallpaper mirrors the original’s essence down to the finest nuance. We combine 800 DPI scanning with a 20,000+ color library - analyzed via spectrophotometer - to recreate hues as they appeared when new, not just as faded relics. This precision - paired with daily-calibrated 1200 DPI printing using UV-cured inks - captures every stroke of a Victorian floral or Art Deco geometric.

Accuracy extends beyond color - texture matching leverages Printable Wallcovering Materials like Grasscloth for woven depth or Silk for subtle sheen, informed by a complete analysis of your sample. Historical context - drawn from archival research and color theory guides pattern reconstruction, ensuring a period piece feels true to its era. Sample press proofs - up to three variants - let you verify every detail against your vision.

For Reprint Discontinued Wallpapers or Replicate Historic Wallpaper - like a century-old ceiling border - our process blends science and artistry, avoiding generic approximations. The Art of Restoring Vintage Prints & Patterns showcases this commitment - your Custom Wallpaper Reproduction isn’t just close, it’s a precise echo of history.

Our team at Fine Print NYC elevates digital restoration into an art form - a meticulous, pre-production process that transforms flawed or aged samples into pristine custom wallpaper designs, distinct from the printing phase that follows. This isn’t just a quick fix - it’s a specialized craft of scanning, retouching, and hand tracing - breathing life into your vision with museum-quality precision. Unlike printing - which delivers the final product - restoration rebuilds the foundation, often spanning days to weeks before ink ever touches material.

Step-by-Step Mastery

• Ultra-High-Definition Scanning: We capture your sample - a torn 1800s motif or a smoke-damaged 1920s scrap - at up to 800 DPI with professional scanners handling pieces up to 4x8 feet. Our experts tweak lighting and angles - maximizing detail from faded inks or brittle edges - creating a raw digital file that’s the bedrock of restoration.
• Precision Retouching: Flaws like rips, stains, or buckling vanish under our Photoshop specialists’ care - ranging from 1-3 hours for light dust to 10+ hours for widespread damage. A cracked Victorian floral - we erase grime, mend tears, and redraw lost petals - ensuring perfection.
• Hand Tracing & Color Separation: Artists trace every line and shape by hand - no AI shortcuts - separating colors with a 20,000+ color library for exact matches. A simple polka dot takes hours - a Gothic mural might demand weeks - all to guarantee seamless tiling on Printable Wallcovering Materials like Suede.

Why It’s Priceless

This isn’t basic cleanup - it’s a fusion of tech and artistry that turns relics into treasures. For Reprint Discontinued Wallpapers or Restore Damaged Wallpapers - we might recreate a missing corner of a 1910 design - blending historical savvy with digital skill. Costs range from $750 to $3500 - reflecting complexity, color count, and sample condition - a small price for reviving a cherished legacy.

More Than a Printing Project

Unlike printing - which relies on a finished file - restoration crafts that file from scratch, ensuring Custom Wallpaper fidelity. Wallpaper Scanning and Masterful Reproduction of Incomplete Wallpaper Patterns detail this journey - your sample’s story gets reborn, ready for proofing and production with unmatched authenticity. This process - often unseen - is the heart of every wallpaper replica.

We transform low-quality artwork into stunning custom wallpaper designs - a cornerstone of Fine Print NYC’s digital restoration expertise - tackling pixelation, blur, or faded details head-on.
