Large format printers are usually deemed to print 24" wide and above. Look at the Epson 7600, or larger 9600. All are colour, but can print B&W. Both are expensive, unless are are a wealthy hobbyist or plan to use it for a paying business. If you can get by with A3+ the 1290s (or 1280 in USA) is a good printer costing around GBP 300 here. You may find it more economical to send jobs out to a print shop. Steve Bell -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
