A
unique digital panorama camera that fills wide-format enlargements
printed on Rexam Graphics inkjet media.
Since
a wide format printer can produce prints of 10, 20, 30 feet
long, how can any camera fill this long format? There is one
camera that can produce two kinds of photograph that are ideal
for the long axis of wide format printers. This remarkable
camera produces seamless 360 degree panorama photos and can
also peel off the entire circumferencial image of any round
object (turntable rollout photograph). Rexam
Graphics makes exhibit quality photo inkjet media (gloss,
semi-gloss, or matte).
Due
to the size of the original images it is difficult to present
them on the Internet. Thus I reduced this panorama picture
considerably. This is a snapshot with a Nikon CoolPix 950
of a 36 inch wide-format HP
3500 CP print out on Rexam Graphics banner media laminated
with a GBC Eagle laminator.
Similar
panorama photographs taken on the same part of the Missouri
Ozarks are on another page.
I
could have printed this file 36 inchs high by a dozen feet
long, but that would have taken a while to RIP and then to
print. The Better Light large format scan back system is technically
capable of producing a single panorama of over 1 GB in size
but I usually keep my panoramas about 360 to 410 MB in size
or smaller. Adobe Photoshop usually croaks on a file over
320 MB though I have opened some up to 410 MB.
The
file was reduced down to 180 dpi for the HP printer (600 dpi
rating). Other people who used this same printer said that
a file size of 120 dpi was actually plenty of data; 150 dpi
is the maximum you need. Laminating
