1. Yes. The printer can handle 13" wide paper and the printable width is
slightly less than that. Banner panoramic for this printer means 44" length
and the maximum printable length is slightly less than that. I've been
making 41" long prints without any problem. (The pizza wheel problem that
exists on many Epson printers also exists on this printer but can be solved
by removing the wheels) To print a 12x40" photo at 1440 dpi takes about one
a half hour approx.

2. I think some companies are working on the inks but they are not yet
available. See http://ww.missupply.com

Hi,

I'm considering purchasing an inkjet printer, something like Epson Stylus
Photo 1200.  I have a couple of questions regarding this printer.

1. Can it print bigger sizes or is it limited to A3+?  A3+ (about 12x18") is
   fine for me at the moment but I heard some people saying the 1200 model
   could print banner paper for longer panoramic images and some people said
   it couldn't.

2. Are there any archives quality ink and paper for this printer?  My
limited
   research indicates that none of the better ink or paper support this
   model. There may be something coming out soon from Epson but I'm not sure
   about this.  Archives quality is a precondition for me.

3. Are there any other printers from any other brands with similar print
   quality and performance?

Thank you in advance for your info.
