It can do paper for her scrapbooks as well as vinyl. With paper you need some sort of sticky but not too sticky backing material to move the paper through to be cut if you are trying to use your own plotter. They are more than a Cri-Cut but there are many more options what you can create. 12"x12" is common for scrapbooks.

One of our clients when I lived in Iowa had a similar thing to cut all his silk screens.

Then again, I'm used to being around the plotters that start at $2k or more...

The plotter we have now was $5k and I'm not sure how you could make an inkjet into a cutter.

In the sign industry a plotter is the machine that cuts, and the printer is the one that prints... My folks have a big Roland 54" printer that also plots, but those run about 30k new!

ahh industry terms.

For us we have a 36" wide format printer for b/w and a 36" wide format plotter for color prints.

The 36" canon is basically a huge desktop photo printer. I can do a 36" borderless print for as long as the ink holds out. Glen can do larger I think.

Evening Y'all,
I play plotter every morning, usually right after my cup of coffee.
BTW David I now hate you

Yea, we have a Epson 11800 64 inch wide printer. The cartridges are something like 700 ml for each of the 8 inks. We go months and sometimes over a year on some ink cartridges like Matte Black.

We can't get paper wider than 60 inches and we are limited to a 100 fool long roll. So in theory we could make a 100 foot by 200 foot print. I suspect that is theory. It prints at 2880 x 1440 PPI so the pixels are invisible without a magnifier.

That one is not even mine. I looked online and found a copy of it. I have had it for almost 30 years. The now wife bought it for me before we were married. I also have an autographed picture of the Black Sheep by other pilots and an autographed book by the guy who claims to be the fighter pilot who shot Boyington down.

Gosh, the only fancy airplane photo I have is an 8x10 glossy b/w of the Enola Gay signed by the crew.

Did love playing Hellcats of the South Pacific on three monitors setup like a cockpit though.

Weez got an indoor range, woohoo

[RKDinOKC]

We used to have dart gun wars at my bros house. Guess we shoulda put someone's eye out.
We also rode bikes and skateboards and stuff without knee pads, elbow pads, or even helmets. We even made jumps and stuff like that too.

Sure had fun though!

[Outback Porsche]

I don't know how I made it to 10?

Morning Y'all,
We used to have BBgun wars in the woods. Daisy rd riders and some goggles,

[ckelly78z]

Bottle rocket fights and BB wars, riding bikes and minibikes with no safety gear, sitting 9 deep in station wagons with no seatbelts, riding in the back of pickups......somehow I made it 50 years so far (knock on wood).

You guys had goggles?

[GH85Carrera]

We had countless dirt clod wars. Invariably someone would "cheat" and get a dirt clod with a rock in the middle, or just dirty rock. I have many scars from bike crashes and no pads or helmets.

Good nostalgia Tuesday morning.

We had sling-shot rock wars.

I had a gocart and a minibike, but 1 engine. Had to swap depending on which I wanted to ride.

And the minibike had no brakes.

Hahaha, yep, and I still have the scar to prove it.

Here is a screen capture of the oblique.

This was a single photo taken from a Cessna 206 flying along at normal cruise speed.



This is the center of the image at 100%

The image would be over 6x6 feet at 300 PPI.



You can see an airplane coming in to land.

That is the raw scan and it needs some color tweaking but you get the idea. Big ol image.
