printing from an A4 paper roll

[ajo43]

I have a panorama shot that I'd like to print from my Cannon i560 printer. I have heard that it is possible to buy a continuous roll of A4 paper and feed it into the printer.

I've never seen this for sale in any of the shops that stock Canon paper. Does anyone know where to buy it and if it is possible to buy Canon Paper Pro rolls?

Also, is there any tricks to printing from Photoshop (eg, paper selection etc)

Thanks for your help

I remember a thread asking a similar question not long ago. Epson has rolled paper which works really well on a printer designed to take it. Don't know about Canon though.

You can buy roll paper for printers, but that printer is too far down the chain to support a roll-addition if it ever existed for a Canon... and I've never seen one.

I have only ever seen the EPSON version - that is for the domestic market!

Just on that same theme. I have the same printer and have no expectation
that I can print to roll paper but can you get this done at a lab?
Where would you go?

i have a epson R210, gonna give it a try soon...

the R210 has a roll feed option, not sure about the canon.

I know that Canon make Panorama paper (which is basically 2 sheets of A4 end to end)... I saw some yesterday... If people are interested, I can find out more details...

The paper and ink (consumables) cost more than the printer

Jonesy and I have the same printer. In the page setup you can adjust the paper size in "custom" to 210mm x 594mm or twice A4 long.
So can I presume from that it will print the paper Leek mentioned?

Epson used to make paper that size too - but I think they've stopped it in favour of the rolls.

I saw it recently at a Harvey Norman store I was at (I was looking for games... GAMES damnit... why else would I be in the heart of a devil...)
