Hi,

I printed this using EAM on my Epson 2100.

20Colour%20and%20Monochrome/slides/pan_1625-
30_Monument_Valley_Acess_Eagle_Sentinel_D60PanoBandWBOpano.html

This was 44 inches long.

This image was similarly printed but about 5-6feet long.

18_Painted_Desert_Pano_AZ_D60_Pano.html

My apologies to list members that it is in colour.

In both cases I used the top feeder and dangled the paper.  The trick 
is gettting the paper straight.  I cheat and have a white border 
which I trim off afterwards!
