Printing question; panorama, r2400 75" image

[Heavy Surf Advisory]

i have a 10.75 by 74.75 inch pano image i stitched in cs3.
according to epson r2400 specs, max length print is 44".
is it possible to print two 10"x35" consecutively so the image is seamless?
thanks

Now, I'm pretty sure that the higher end models including the r2400 let you beat 44 inches - Just specify roll paper and then create a custom paper size. The upper limit on length is around 12900 (129.00) inches

if the drivers cant do it, you can use a utility It's still possible to best the 44 inch limitation, but you'll need to find a 3rd party RIP (rasterization program) to do it I think. I've heard from reliable sources that they exist, I've never needed to go looking for one that can do that.

You can also find a utility that may allow it, such as the one here http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/re...2&changemode=1 You're other best alternative may be a custom lab.

If using Epson software - and the R2400 drivers cant handle it -
you can try to print two consecutive images on roll paper and have no border between them, you should be able to get them to conjoin - but you may get some noticeable seem in the process as the borderless modes often have super precision problems.

I suspect it would be more involved but possibly give less of a seem to try printing with borders that have set lengths and making sure there is a pause between images, and moving the roll through the paper by a set amount the border length. (you'd basically need to make measurements of how far to turn the roll to achieve the distance you want - and use some test paper to get it done. it would be tricky and may take many tries to perfect.

ravn, thanks much for the info and advice you have provided.
i will look into the 3rd party softwares and further delve into the discussions tonight.
just by glancing at the pages briefly, i think i may be able to achieve the results i desire.
i will return with how everything turns out, and thank you, much appreciated .
