Correct, it gets more difficult to handle big sheets in a one 
man shop. Rolls isn't a problem though. I always roll the 44" 
on a 6" core in reverse curl at the feet of the printer. The 
extra 16" doesn't matter. The core is rotating on a roller bar 
and a similar bar is used at the cutter. The cutter can handle 
60" already. I have added a cheap laser line gadget last week 
that makes it easier to align the Qimage cut marks. But sheets 
of 152 x 152 or longer can't be handled by one man and keeping 
rolls all the time isn't easy either.
