The paper width is 36" and it's scroll-fed. (The printer will print up to 44", but I don't have ready access to that sort of media.) If we're going to print 36xN (for N >> 24), keep in mind that you're going to need to have some way to mount it. It won't stand freely, and will have a tendency to curl because the paper is scroll-fed. Responding to some of the snipped bits in Matto's original message, it sounds like we're potentially planning to have a large number of banners. In previous meetings we talked about 2, or maybe just 1 sign per talk room, plus some general signage. I have been thinking that the number was ~7 large signs + misc. I will print as much as a I can next week, but at 40 minutes per 24x36" sign, the possibility of running out of supplies and being temporarily blocked, and the fact that I still have to work (I'll be babysitting the printer after-hours); it would be helpful to know the relative priority order of the signs. 2 buckets: must have/nice to have Also, I'll need to check to see whether we have 11x17 available (recent change in our office printers). If I can't print those, perhaps someone else can, or we can make a run to Kinkos. Thanks, tony
