Hey Rob,

What you are asking about is called Large Format Printing.

You could try Unicom Graphics, at Alberta: http://www.unicomgraphics.com

or the University of Manitoba does LFP for people: http://umanitoba.ca/faculties/archit..._printing.html

Do you have a specific size you need? Some vendors on ebay do smaller versions.
I bought a product from one that does up to around 3mt by 1.5mt. Possibly more, but that's largest advertised on ebay.

The retractable devices can be bought seperately, and you load own material easily, or most print businesses will have that as an add on cost. Don't know if the Uni print shop has this ability though.

Default Thanks for this Tony,

and right in my back yard. I am thinking about 14'x14' to cover existing closed overhead doors in my shop. I can't imagine a piece of vinyl that large would be seemless? I love the look and how it might really dress up the inside of one of my shop walls when the doors are closed.

I vaguely remember there was a business, whose work was mainly pictures that wenton the outside of garage doors. They had one which was a fighter jet facing outwards, another was a tank.

If they can do it on outside, they can go on inside too? Probably correct about not being in one piece, but I gather it would go on in same manner as wallpaper. One piece at a time (to steal a line from a Johhny Cash song, same title!).

I'll try to find that business name. Worth a look at their artwork, if nothing else.
