Digital BW, The Print

Hi.
I was wondering about using roll paper with the wrong core size on my Epson 2100. (In fact, EEM with the wide core was supplied by mistake.)

I wondered how well it works if you cut off, say, a 1.5m length for a mural and just let it dangle out of the back of the machine's feeder hole.

I can't see any reason why this wouldn't work and if it does, I could buy a roll of Hahnemuhle Photo Rag and do this instead of using the cheap stuff. (If I can afford the Photo Rag, of course ... It might be better to contract my friend up the road with a 4800 to do the murals).

I've been doing loads of murals lately, but they haven't got as far as my web site yet ... too much time is spent shooting and editing.

thanks in advance and thanks for all of your previous help,
Rich

Hi,

I printed this using EAM on my Epson 2100.

20Colour%20and%20Monochrome/slides/pan_1625-
30_Monument_Valley_Acess_Eagle_Sentinel_D60PanoBandWBOpano.html

This was 44 inches long.

This image was similarly printed but about 5-6feet long.

My apologies to list members that it is in colour.

In both cases I used the top feeder and dangled the paper.  The trick 
is gettting the paper straight.  I cheat and have a white border 
which I trim off afterwards!
