Today, you can get 11x14" digital prints for rather less $ than an optical
print, and even less in larger (panoramic) formats. I suggest that a
future 20x30" print could cost less than today's 11x14" print with new
printer technology, and even 40x60" might be possible - with the demand
coming from thousands of kiosks and companies wanting to be able to do
posters and large prints for banners, conferences, and all that ;-)


The problem with this hope is that it requires large paper to be kept in
stock. Not only do you need to keep multiple paper sizes in stock you'll
need too change paper rolls. It stops being cheap when you need a human.
