These guys have continuous feed photocopiers that will copy almost ANY length of paper! Interesting thought. I didn't know that such things existed. I can ask around. It's likely that if I had more than one made at the same time, each one might be cheaper. Yep. They do. The only downside is that you are stuck with whatever default width the machine takes. We keep one in the office that is set for 42" as the standard width. Lots of waste for small drawings. It is "scanner-to-plotter" HP technology and so does color (very nicely) as well. NOT CHEAP. It also operates (with different dyes and/or inks) on vinyl, finished fabrics, sticky-back or slick paper - even more expensive. On the other hand, as the entire system is computerized, we often will print-in-parallel so as not to waste paper. We can scan one 18" banner into the system and print two out on the 42" stock with good margins. If you are using 8.5 x whatever originals, you could print four rows in parallel. All this can be set up after the initial scan and before the *expensive* "PRINT" button is hit. 11 x 17 fold-outs can also be accomodated in the initial set-up without (much) waste. As William notes below, the length that can be plotted/printed is limited only by the length of the printer-stock roll. Peter Wieck Melrose Park, PA |
