Digital BW, The Print

Austin,

Not quite so easy I'm afraid, according to Epson. It is dependant not only
on the driver, but also on the OS and the software program you are printing
from. For example, Epson state the OS limit for the 3000 is 44", the
Photoshop limit is 41", the Adobe Illustrator limit is 227", The
QuarkExpress limit is 48", and the Coreldraw limit is 1800"!!

However, having read the Epson blurb again, I'm not sure where the boundary
is. The 7000 and up are certainly large-format, but whether the 3000, 5000,
and 5500 are 'desktop' or not isn't absolutely clear to me. But the test is
simply whether the page limit size in PS is 41" or 82".

My 1290 certainly has a limit of 41.666 inches. If you set the ppi to 720 in
Image Size and try and enter a height of 100 inches, it puts up an error
message and defaults to 41.666.
