Bill,

Oh so true.  I have a HP DesignJet 1055CM, prints 36" wide by 9 feet long.  
This is one amazing printer, way back when we were having our 50 anniversary 
class reunion I posted a print that was sent to me only 64k and this thing 
printed a huge poster 3 ft wide by 5 ft tall.  Beautiful and totally 
unbelievable for such a small size document....AND I printed a huge room FULL 
of these size prints of our class when we were in 1st, 2nd, 3rd and on up the 
ladder.  I don't remember how many there were but they were all over the 
walls....the amount of ink?  

Never ran out of the cartridges that were in the machine when I started.  These 
prints had huge amounts of ink and had I used my small printer to get the 
equivalent amount of coverage I would have needed a pickup to carry the boxes.  
The more expensive printers often are by far the most economical cost per 
print....of course it doesn't matter if you use it little.

John
