It's not for the original poster.
In a previous life, if I'd purchased a machine that only made shafts up to 2m long when the requirement was 5M, I would not be having such a comfortable retirement now. Know your customer requirements and specify the hardware accordingly. :o

Hi Mike,
For about £400 (uk) (probably much less elsewhere) you can get a used stylus pro 4000 printer. It is well engineered, compared to the 3000 series. It wastes no ink in changing from matt to gloss black - I believe later models use ink in changing from matt to gloss. Quality compatible pigment ink, with refillable cartridges costs about £60.00 per litre. It will print on card, has vacuum suction, cut off knife, etc. The front tray pushes in, the rear roll holder is easily removable, and if space is limited it could be mounted above the printer. Also, full service manuals are available on the web, including details on resetting the waste ink, etc. If you want long prints on canvas, it will be the lowest cost option. My understanding is that the 3000 series do not work too well with canvas. Without the roll holder at the back of the printer, and the front paper tray closed the desk area required - but it needs to be a strong desk- is about 32 inches wide by 21 inches deep. For comparison, the A3+ stylus r1800, with cis will be about 27 inches wide, by 15 inches deep with its roll holder removed, which is not that much smaller. I guess your 2200 is somewhere between the two.
Best wishes,
Ray

Did you ever stop and think that requirements might change? Did you ever stop and think at all?

Just for the record, I will assume that you accidentally forgot to put a smiley after your comment.
Otherwise, someone might think you were insulting Terry.
Of all the people on this forum, Terry is perhaps, the most thoughtful and helpful person.
Most folks consider themselves lucky if they get a reply from Terry. His helpful suggestions have made learning some of the digital imaging stuff easier for all.
