Subject: [Leica] OT: large print output service?

I am seriously thinking about getting a Z3100, the 24" large format printer 
from HP. The primary reason being that with my integrating Chinese 
calligraphy into photoimages, even a 13x19 print looks small for 
calligraphy. The major downside is of course the cost. Plus that who knows 
how many these images I can make...

One way to defray the cost is to sell printing service at slightly premium 
over material cost. With the builtin color calibration, the printer should 
produce prints that look pretty darn good.

What do you think? A viable "business" plan? Or should I just a) give up 
whole idea, or b) bite the bullet and purchase the printer anyway?
