We have the Epson 11880 printer. All we ever print on is double weight photogloss. When we print on 60 inch paper it only prints 59.75" of image. Since no one is framing them none of our customers care.

We print everything at maximum resolution 2880x1440. With a good 8X magnifying loupe you can just almost kinda see the dot pattern. It is as close to an old photographic print as possible only better. We can take a print and pour coffee on it and then just hose it off in the sink or hit it with glass cleaner and it looks perfect.

The thing that is different about aerial photos is even with a big ass print the customer may well be looking for very fine detail with a loupe. That is why every frame from the camera is 1.1 gigs.

I still love it when someone orders one section of land and they want a 1"=100' print. Since a mile is 5,280 feet at a scale of 1"100' the mile will be 52.80 inches across. Since we don't want to cut the print right at the section line we show just past the mile so we print 6,000x6,000 feet. They get a print that is 5x5 feet. A rather big happy snap.
