York Minster window captured with HP digital printer technology

The window is among the world’s largest medieval glass works and is being removed from York Minister for conservation work, which may last for up to 15 years. The 378sqm banner was printed using a HP Designjet 10000 printer, using epiflex, a non-mesh substrate, and HP low-solvent pigmented inks – combining the quality and productivity benefits of solvent printing and high durability, with a more environmentally-responsible printing process. “Producing a high-quality banner of the Great East Window was a challenge that we believe could only have been completed using HP’s digital printing technology,” says EPS managing director Steve Farley. “Due to the size of the project, the optimum quality of print needed to accurately reproduce the window, and the difficulty of getting the ink to adhere to the substrate, we were told that it couldn’t be done. However, our HP Designjet 10000 coped brilliantly and the final product far exceeded our customer’s expectations.”
