Re: Printers - a list of those that can do long prints?

[Glenn Barry <glenn@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

HI Peter,

I have a 1200 that can do 44" long. Keep in mind that those printers that
are A4 only can only print the short side of A4 (210 mm/ 8") by 44 inches.
The 1200 can 329mm/13". If you really want all of the low down on Epsons
then I can point you in the right direction for Archival inks/papers,
refilling techniques and supplies and probably the busiest list that I
know on Epsons printers, just write to me off line and I will pass on the
links and any info that I have to hand. There can be a lot to learn!!
