So you are really printing the next size down. Scoping out the sale of precut panoramic format mats might put the thing in perspective. You can see what size lots of people are printing. I think the panoramic format more than more traditional formats MAKES you want to print very large becuae they are much more effective very large. Any print is much more effective very large but a panoramic print is MUCH MUCH more effective very large. Or shall we say: LONG. Panoramics kind of want to be long running along your wall filling up the whole wall over your sofa. Its their nature. They cant help it. They are sofa photos. Not ottoman snaps. Great for hallways. I'd be happy with some little ones too though. To carry around in my back pocket. Like candy bars. In my wallet the same format as money. That's what I call a wallet print.
