[TheForge] large format printing

[ries]

I send it out.
A decent 4' wide printer can cost ten grand, ink costs a lot, and then  
they are obsolete in a few years.
Unless you are running one several hours a day, I cant see how it  
would be worth owning your own printer.

I have several printing houses nearby that will print any size I want  
from an email or a CD.

You have to choose your battles- you cant own every tool- even if you  
could afford it, keeping em all running and supplied takes more hours  
than there is in the day.

hello;

i am curious as to what others have been using for large format
printing. i am talking about printing 'E' size blueprints. basically,
blueprints. i still find that using a drafting table and vellum is
quicker than using a computer cad system.

basically, the how do others print something that is 8 ft by 4 ft?
color printing.
