Abstract
The invention is directed to an apparatus for applying at least one graphic to at least one surface, comprising a portable scaffolding system that may be telescoped to accommodate a length and a width of the surface; a host device for receiving at least one head attachment; and a computing device for incrementally moving the host device along the width and the length of the surface and for controlling a distance between the host device and the surface. The invention is also directed to a computer-implemented method for applying at least one graphic to at least one surface, comprising receiving at least one selected graphic; receiving data for mapping the surface; communicating instructions to a horizontal drive means for moving a print head across a width of the surface; communicating instructions to a vertical drive means for moving the print head along a length of the surface; communicating instructions to a host drive means for moving the print head toward and away from the surface; and communicating instructions to the print head for applying at least one colorant to the surface.
