How do you print banners now a days?

[episodic]

Is there anyway to print a banner with a lexmark z-45 (ink jet sheet feed)? Last banner I printed was with printshop on a commodore 64 with a dotmatrix printer and the 'tractor feed paper"

I see print shop now for like 9 bucks - is that still good for it? What about the paper thing?

Epson Stylus 9600 Pro

it will print 44 inches wide by 100 feet long, at a cost of only 7-11$ a foot

either matte or arcivial paper

printer costs like 8 grand

i have this printed at 44in wide and 14in tall, looks sweet

I've got to remember the AT overkill effect.

Let me specify, I'm talking about the banners you see at kids' parties and welcome back stuff. . .Just a long stream of paper. . .

the 9500 pro is only like 4K

for what you actually want i have no idea, the only banner printers i know of are ones like these, cheapest is at least 800$

you could always just print it on seperate sheets of paper and tape them together

It is a shame you can't do it anymore. Old dotmatrix printers with tractor feed could do it. Here is a case of loosing an ability with 'advancement' of technology. . .

most hp inkjets still have the paper feed in the back for banners and stuff. and yea, print shop will work fine.
