Susanne, Do you need a banner to roll for mailing? One of my earliest "published" family history samples is an 18" wide "scroll" nearly 12 feet high with hundreds of tiny names and some errors. It was replaced by a printed book with a few stories. Wall charts can be saved as PDF files and printed at a copy service but I don't want to pay more than $7 per square foot and don't want charts planned with color photos to be printed as BW. Charts with photos are easily joined together and taped on a folding 4'x3' foamboard for display. One particular foamboard has been driven from Alberta to the USA for two of the major genealogy conferences as well as local meetings. It is still useful two years later. Wide banner charts are hard to read, especially without pictures. Check the paper guide on a wide printer to see if it will keep normal size pages and envelopes straight if you plan to use the new all-purpose printer full time. Letter/legal size HP 970 has a banner setting but I've always used it with the two-sided attachment for long family books or single sheets of legal paper. Some of the family books have charts in book format, and the vertical ancestor chart with boxes moved off page breaks also works well with wide enough margins for books. Some printers allow poster-size enlargements of photos to be printed on multiple sheets of paper and joined together. That style also allows color photocopies and enlarged photocopies that turn out sharper than a reasonable size scan of a highly detailed original. -- Elizabeth ----- Original Message ----- From: "Susanne Hackbarth" > I will be looking for a 13" wide printer.
