Once the desired chart is designed in RM, it can be exported to a flash drive or CD in a .png, .jpg or other format. A printing service can then make the chart on a single large sheet. I have used Staples a number of times with good results. The file can even be emailed to the local Staples store. In my area, the cost is only $0.50 per square foot when printed on 20# bond paper.

Best quality - and preferred by commercial printers - is .pdf. If you have Win Vista or later operating system, you will not be able to set the chart paper size within RM and will have to make your pdf creator program the default printer and set the paper size there before saving the chart.
