Pan Production
Not all printers are capable of being set to 40" prints. The Epson 3800, for example, has a 37.4 inch limit. However, the larger machines all go to lengths which are, for practical purposes, limitless. Significantly the popular Epson 2400 has a limit of 13" x 44" paper size which fits very nicely.
Providing your printer has banner mode there are some interesting fiddles described on the Qimage website for fooling a printer to use paper in excess of its length limit. However, they do seem to need a banner mode and so we were forced to the lower limit of 37.4 inches printing on our test bed 3800. Nevertheless we still made a very impressive print. As far as we know all of the RIP solutions provide for larger paper sizes than the standard for the various printers. However, the cost of a box of Museo Pan is such that you would be advised to take advice and check before ordering.
The pans are almost Editor height (not a lot, in truth!)
