Digital BW, The Print

Dear Guy, Walt, John, Mark,

Epson and you guys helped solve the problem.

Yes, Guy and Walt . . . exceeding 44" was indeed the problem.
But also, after getting off of the phone with Epson support,
it is also required that the setting for 13" be entered with
a figure of 12.94" for those of you on the precipice of falling
into a similar pitfall.

so the custom setting would read 12.94 x 44.

16 bit was not a problem with the G5, top OS 10 before Tiger,
and CS2.

This means that without a RIP, the 2200 is capable of printing
a rather short panorama, if you ask me.  (A fact that I am rather late
in realizing.) Will the 2400 require a separate RIP in order to print a 
larger,
longer file?  How about the 4800?  I think that's something we should 
know
before we buy one unless Epson gives us a discount on a 3rd party RIP.
