Digital BW, The Print

Ok, guys, I'll bite.  But I have a few questions.  Perhaps Martin and/or
Antonis (as the list-owners) can develop a poll through yahoo groups and
this list where the rest of photo/piezo-graphers can check in:
1) what's the longest panoramic print you would make?
2) would you except sheets instead of rolls
3) how many of you would buy this "specially" developed product

an easier way for y'all to make your prints would be to buy our (or others,
but preferably Crane's <g>) large sheets like 35x47 or 24x36.  this can be
cut with a guillotine at any commercial printers into 13x44, etc.  Yes, our
365 gsm will feed through a 1270, 2000,and even a 750!  Probably wouldn't
want to make a habit of it though.  It's my understanding that these
desktop printers (1270, 1280, 2000) won't print an image longer than 44".
Is this true, do one of you have other experience?  If it is true, then:
4) why would you bother with a fine art roll paper (which is going to give
you some degree of roll set), when you could buy larger (MUSEO--extra plug,
sorry) sheets.

if this is a product which many of you would be buying on a regular basis,
then perhaps i can do some convincing to convert some of our larger sheets
into 13x44's.

Antonis, Martin: can y'all set up a poll to determine how many
piezo/photo-graphers are amongst us who would be interested in this?

hope this helps,
robert rex
