Imageco Use Their HP Latex 800W To Create A Remarkable Giant Mural At The LNER Community Stadium In York
London North Eastern Railway (LNER) has officially unveiled Imageco’s installation of an impressive 100ft mural, inspired by the local area, at the LNER Community Stadium in York.
They created a giant vinyl #mural for the LNER Community Stadium by printing individual panels with their new #HPLatex 800W and piecing together the giant puzzle for amazing results!
The HP Latex 800W has fascinated everyone at Imageco with its productivity and print quality, which made it an ideal machine for the York Mural project.
As Nathan Swinson-Bullough, CEO of Imageco said “ One of the first ports of call was to look at replacing our aged printer. Its environmental footprint was massive and we had to search for an alternative. When we saw the quality coming off the HP Latex 800W and sustainability behind the Latex we knew it was the printer for us. iMAGECO is one of the UK's leading companies in wide format print. We are extremely creative and push the boundaries of both print and display. The reasons behind purchasing the Latex 800W was the productivity, quality, colour matching for pantones and skin tones is the best I've seen.”
Adorning the West Stand, the striking mural was designed by the University of York, and captures sights from around the city including Clifford’s Tower, the famous city walls and York Minster, as well as an Azuma train departing York station. York City FC and York City Knights, who play at the stadium, are also represented with players from both teams depicted within the colourful mural.
David Horne, LNER’s Managing Director, said: “The stadium is a part of the local community, so we felt it was important that the new mural reflected many of the things that make York such a wonderful place to live and work. It’s a great piece of artwork and already we’ve received some incredible feedback from fans and the wider community.”
The feature has been a year in the planning and took 100 hours to create.
LNER captured the installation in action in a behind-the-scenes time-lapse film.
Councillor Aspden, Leader of City of York Council, said: “The mural looks fantastic and perfectly captures the spirit of the stadium and wider complex as an incredible community facility for the local community and the whole of York.
“It is a real shame the fans couldn’t enjoy it at this weekend’s game, but I am sure it will be appreciated by all fans and residents who visit the sports and community facilities for years to come.”
