Digital BW, The Print

The most I've ever done was 1,000.00 13x19's on a 10K printer which is very fast 
compared to most of those printers. Even that took me a long time when you consider all 
the trimming involved without damaging the prints. I wouldn't do it on my 9600 unless 
they bought me three printers to do it on.  Only the 4000 is the same aprox speed but 
much narrower of course. The only way I would dream of a job like that is using a 44" 
printer and ganging them up on as large a canvas as possible. Of course you'll need a 
good paper cutter to cut them apart. Hope your not gonna spay em......
