Hey Ernest,

Thanks for the info...found it very helpful.

I want to know...is there anyway I could build a thermal printer that prints on a large paper.

This video  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4Rrsfe__yU .  gives a hint as to how.

But I need to use the same process to print on a large paper using a thermal printer.

Cheers,
Ojas

Hey Ray and Mike,

Check this youtube video out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4Rrsfe__yU .

I have this in mind. Here they use an ink based printer.

Is it possible that we could change the orientation of a thermal printer and make it print like that.

Cheers,
Oj

Hey Ray,

So you can actually start building one?

Hey Mike,

The challenge is to print on a single piece of paper, 60*180 inches with a thermal printer.

The thermal printer can be changed physically to adapt to the challenge.

Qimage will do the software part, now the hardware needs to adapt to the change.

Do you know a smart way to change the hardware to print on a large paper.

Cheers,
Oj

Hey Ray,

From where can we get a pric?

And how much would the whole operation cost to build ...around 150$.

Hey Ray,

Thanks for such a fast reply! Appreciate it.

Approx how long would it take you to build it. Say to print on a 60 inch * 180 inch thermal paper.

Cheers,

Hey!

I have this wonderful challenge.

How to make a normal thermal printer ( output 2inches*7 inches) to print on wide format.

1) How to change it physically so that it prints on a 120 inch * 320 inch wide paper.

2) Can Qimage be used to achieve the task.

Cheers,
Oj
