I'm in the camp that says that 44" isn't big enough. As Ernst has 
pointed out, that's a plotter size (American size E drafting paper). 
Drafting houses aren't buying these printers, so why are we making 
printers this size? A more sensible size would be 48" which would work 
much better for fabrics (think canvas, silk). This would allow gallery 
wrapped canvas prints with an image size of 125 x 100 cm (about 50 x 40 
inches) with ease.

While a lot of these sizes date back to darkroom print sizes, inkjet 
isn't restricted to paper like the darkroom. Inkjet printer sizes should 
reflect this reality.
