Thought this subject might be appropriate here...

I have a job for very large walls (17x23 high)...

I couldn't print on metal 4'x8' too small...

I searched for the largest print head in Norcal.. 53" (not big enough); settled on trying a

Jacquard tapestry of my artwork on 6' loom. Weaving is OK but there is a loss of detail.

In my searching I came across a10' printhead (in AZ) that uses HP latex based ink on canvas... I needed 3 pieces price OK.

Then I needed to get it up to 8' x 9' (limited by Standard stretcher bar length)..

I have CS6 and I was nervous about the image resampling so I bought GigapixalAI 6X from Topaz.

Sloooow as honey running down slope and the 6X only went up to 22,000 pixels (6') which meant I would have to go back to

PS "best for enlargements"...

I finished... then tried to save to TIFF file (each file = 2.3GB) the file wouldn't save - so I couldn't transmit via dropbox.. Ugh...

My daughter asked why I don't put it on a flash drive?? BINGO...

I verified if the printer could print TIFF from a flash drive.

I bought a 16GB flash drive, downloaded the three & put it in an overnite mail envelope and was done..

The local stretcher was another story...

Sometimes it pays to be old fashioned and this was a learning experience...
