Digital BW, The Print

The entire file size of this print is 105 megs ( small in larger scheme of things).
The way  I tried it last night was 24"x 180" @ 160 dpi  ( pixel width was 3840 - 
pixel height was 28800 pixels}.

Should I try reducing this further? You think it  might be a limitation with 
Photoshop? The problem with doing anymore tests is that it wasts  a lot of ink 
and it takes forever, but I might have to keep doing tests and changing 
settings. I'm just not sure what to attempt. I've written Roy but I actually don't 
think he any experience with large format printers and panoramas.
