The Hong Kong shot is quite successful that way too. Before I saw your email, I posted a description of the Photoshop method. I'll be glad to try to clear it up if you have some questions. It is time consuming to do it in Photoshop, but I find the outcome worth the work. We do lots of document stitching here because though our Microtek scanners are capable of up to tabloid size, often maps and other things are even bigger. I have an Epson 1520, and I usually print large pieces up to 21 inches long on that, but if I wanted to print really large versions, Epson, among others make inkjet paper in rolls, and some inkjet printers have adapters for that. I think the best way would be to make your files, save them to zip or CD and take them to a service bureau for printing. I don't know a lot about that, because I don't have much need for it.
