Although it is not supported by cannon, in fact you can use long roll paper. A couple of tips; unroll the paper first and let it sit for an hour to unroll, cut it to the length of the print + 2", set up a custom paper size, and make sure that you have at least 20% left on your inks. I have been known to print 8.5" x 120" prints on a i560. I will run a test on the i9900 and get back to you.
PS: life with the i9900 is so much more productive. I have run over 30 different papers today, and they all came out within 5% without custom settings or profiles up to 60lbs. I have run over 100 square feet and the ink tanks are still virtually full. I will write a full review in the next few days.

Can you confirm this? Canon told me it was limited in the firmware. |
I'm still waiting to find out about this issue before buying. Does anyone know for sure if this printer will print rolls, or longer than 19 inches?? |
I think he posted his answer - see 11/11 poste above (pasted here for your convenience):
Well, sad to say it but the i9900 will print by my measurements to 24". Using Epson 13" x 32" paper, proper settings in both mac os x and the printer driver, I was able to print to just a fraction of an inch shy of 24". I had more data to print, but the printer just shot out the paper at 24". It did finish the edge at 24" (no stair stepped, stopped in the middle stuff) but this is really sad. I used to do photography boarders for wall paper trim on the i560 over 200". Let me test this at the office on the rip and see what i come up with. As for the default drivers, 24" is the max. I'll have an answer around noon PST. |
Thanks so much for pointing that out - I missed that when re-reading the posts. I REALLY would like to get this printer (over the Epson 2200), but I NEED something that prints up to a minimum length of 36 inches. I am hoping that when the upgrade model to the i9900 comes out, it will have this capability. |
