Anyone know where I can get full size( approx 23" x 7" I think) panorama paper ?

Tried Canon, Epson (I'm using an Epson printer), Papermill Direct etc.etc but nobody seems to stock the panorama format paper. The only other solution I can think of is to use A2 (23 x 16 aprox) but this reduces the choice of surfaces available.

Any suggestions or other ideas?

Thanks

If your printer just handles sheets, you can still cut your chosen size from a roll.

Order it direct from Epson. Their pricing is very competitive.

Epson discontinued their 24"x8" panorama paper a few years ago. I think a sheet of A2 cut lengthways is your answer. I've done a couple on A3 cut like this also. There's someone doing pano paper 16" long in a 2.5:1 ratio as far as I can remember, but the makers name escapes me at the moment. I didn't consider buying any as I prefer 3:1, which is the A2/A3 sheet ratio when cut lengthwise.

Quote: Of course the only problem with a roll is the fact that I would have to print quite a few panoramas!

The advantage of a Roll is that you can use it for any size print up to the maximum width of the roll.
OK, maybe a singe A4 print would waste a fair amount of paper, but no reason why you cannot use it for A3 prints.

I have a 13x37 print hanging over my desk at the moment, and it does look suitably impressive.

They seem to have a stock number for Olmec 260gsm Satin on a roll measuring 329mm wide, but whether it's still available, I'm afraid I can't answer that.

I'm a bit of a "printer virgin" and only just received the free sample of A4 Olmec sheets, which I still haven't tried out yet!

It could be worth giving Paterson's a call to see if the rolls are still available.

Edit: Where's your question about Satin rolls gone..?
