Can't you just take your disk to a Kinko's or other copy place and have it done on their large format printers? Seems it would be easier than sending it out. Call around to some of your copy places and see what they say. I have a long chart that I trimmed and taped up and put on my closet door where I work on my research. It is 2 pages wide by 5 down. It goes to my 4th great grandparents. I printed it from my FTM. I have the older version 7. I could probably go another 2 generations with a 3rd wide paper if I had 2 more generations of info.

Hi Listers, This is somewhat "off topic", but the business name of Kinkos was mentioned. I have a cousin who lives in a distant state and she owns a scanner. The only problem is that she does not know how to use it and when she sends images, they are all too small. I have already been the route of trying to teach her how to use it, but now she thinks I am too particular and a nut case to boot! She will not send me the originals either!! Anyway, has anyone used a commercial service to scan images? Another cousin suggested that I send her a gift certificate to Kinkos, but the closest one to me is 100 miles away. I have no idea how far the closest one is to where she lives. Anyone ever have a similar problem and a possible solution?
