Digital BW, The Print

Hello All, 

my name is paul mueller. I live in oakland california. I'm a very dedicated photographer 
(call it documentary, call it fine art, call it whatever you like) and teach photography at a 
college in fremont california. 

I'm getting set up to make bw and color prints at home. this yahoo group has already been 
very helpful. I've also learned a bunch from the articles posted by Clayton Jones (if you're 
reading this Mr. Jones- thank you for your clear and precise writing. usually I have 
difficulty following tech stuff, but not in your case). 

I did some tests using the MIS R2-N inks and was very pleased with the results. however, I 
though the print was too cool. this was a few days ago, and then EUREKA!, Clayton Jones 
posts an article addressing the exact issue. I can't wait to have another go with the warmer 
inks in the magenta positions. I'll post my results for anyone interested. 

okay, now for my question. I want to feed paper into the R220 longer than 11". basically I 
want to print on paper that is 8.5" wide by 30" or so. I tested the Premier ArtHouse Press 
2-sided paper and want to use it (or something similar) for printing 2-sided hand-bound 
book pages.

someone mentioned to me that this is possible if I get some free or shareware application 
for my mac. I was told the term for what I want is "banner printing". after searching 
without success online (Macupdate and other sites) I decided to post here. I'd appreciate 
any response. 

again, I'm grateful for the existence of this group. I hope to make worthwhile contributions 
once I know what I'm talking about. 

best,
paul mueller

In Windows we use Qimage for that purpose. There is no version for Mac 
but it runs under VPC.

Other people may know of a Mac equivalent.
Good luck

Hello Paul,

>if you're reading this Mr. Jones- thank you 

You're welcome, glad it was helpful.  I went through a difficult and
frustrating struggle in the beginning, so was motivated to write down
what I learned.

Please do post your results.  I feel like we've barely scratched
the surface just in figuring out that it works.  There's lots of
possibilities for experimenting and I'm real interested to know what
others find with various settings and different papers, etc.  Perhaps
we can add a "Tips and Tricks" section to the article...  

Regards,
Clayton

Thanks Jorge- VPC seems like an expensive way to go, so I'll hold out for a mac solution a 
little while longer. 
Thanks for letting me know about this option though. 

best.
Paul
