I'd love to hear about it if you find a vendor of lighjet onto fiber B&W 
paper.

This also will bring up the question of display - how do you mount and 
show a print that big? You can't easily do it in a conventional frame 
with overmatting, because most matte board is just 40x60 inches (biggest 
I've seen is just 4x8 feet). So, if you can get it, what will you do 
with it? Aluminum plates maybe?
