Digital BW, The Print

Hi Nij,

Welcome aboard!

I see the panarama and roll paper on the Epson site but as I recall 
the results with the Piezo inks is less than rewarding. Perhaps if 
there is enough interest and agreement on which paper, some of us 
could get together and place a special for 13" rolls or say 13 X 30 
or 13 X 36 sheets? Having seen the roll adapters for the Epson 
desktops I have some doubts about their ability to handle the heavy 
papers.
