Epson sell A3 width 10m rolls for about 20-30 quid I think - and I'm sure other manufacturers make it as well After my shed, and a 24" monitor - an A3 printer (Epson R1800 perhaps) is next Doug Doug and Nico: Epson SO41379 Premium Glossy Paper Roll 329mmx10m for use with the Stylus Photo 1270 & 1290. Weight: 255gsm. Pack Size: 1 RRP: £45.83 And invest in some ink cartridges, too! Bob Shaw -------------------- Remember: Time Flies like the wind - but Fruit Flies like bananas!

How ironic that after the fervent anticipation of a panorama from the summit of Husband Hill, Spirit's definative panorama may end up being one from the bottom of Inner Basin.

Consider that your average monitor is 70 - 90 dpi, then at a viewing distance of anything more than about 3ft, 150dpi is serious overkill Doug Well, printing 3 megapixel images at 5"x7" is considered quite normal, and it's 300dpi. And you might want to see the details when you move closer. Anyway, 190cm width is a perfect fit for my wall. |

all right thanks Bob! Any idea though about quality using a Canon i9950? Nico Nico: No idea - I'd expect it to be more-or-less the same as you usually get. Inkjet printers don't suffer from the same memory limitations as page printers (or at least not in the same way) so the picture size is probably not very important. You've got me looking, too... ...sadly, my trusty HP P1000 doesn't do rolls, but my daughter's new A3 photo printer most certainly will, hehe.

Opportunity will probably have arrived at and done a good bit of exploring at Victoria. Spirit's going to be in one place for a good long time.

yet more off-topic printing-stuff (hit me )
Thanks again Bob, I'll let you know how it turns out. I'm starting a new job in a few weeks, at the town's printing office... I hope to learn some interesting stuff there..and test some machinery Nico -------------------- photographer, space imagery enthusiast, proud father and partner, and geek.

I wonder howe long this thread will get before Spirit moves on. Opportunity will probably have arrived at and done a good bit of exploring at Victoria. Spirit's going to be in one place for a good long time. The kind of movement of Spirit will be changed from horizontal to vertical doing more MI, researching, miniTES, Mossbauer, x-Ray spectometer measurements and atmospheric, geological and aeolian observations. No horizontes, no explorations, no roving. Hence, at the end of winter, around the Low Ridge Heaven will be the best studied place of Mars. Rodolfo |

Here's the latest L7 then... No full res version again, but if there was, then at 150dpi it'd be 2.1m x 85cm James -------------------- |
