Dave: The largest prints Staples can make is 24 x 36 inches. Mine were 18 x 36". I have some files where I stitched scenes together, such as the Mississippi River mural, which is (was) 8 ft. long but had that one printed by a friend in the advertising business.
The problem was, the framing shop where I had it mounted could only do a mural 6 ft. long, so we had to cut off a 2 ft. section and mount it separately. It matched well, the seam was almost indecipherable, but hard to keep lined up, so I split the two with a piece of plastic strip used for bathroom wall panels. I painted it Spruce Green and "planted" a tree, a weed painted Spruce Green, in front of it to hide it. It works well. November is here, and my Goldenrod "tree crops" are maturing along Iowa highways and byways, so harvesting is about to begin. Also, the same with my wife's Hydrenga plants, which last year yielded the oak trees in the foreground at West Bonaparte.
