Hey all,

Im looking to print inline, i.e one end of the page is attached to the next. Does anyone know of any printers i can buy that will allow me to do this using the old computer paper?

Thanks

What is "old computer paper"? Is that the stuff that you can see the wood chips and you get splinters when you rub it with your fingers?

I think he's talking about fan-fold paper. Depending upon what printer and application you're using, you prolly could have a programmer get the printer to do this.

I don't know why no one else will give you basic info when you've asked politely.You need an impact printer(Epson and Okidata are the most common) or an inkjet that is setup for it(Epson and HP both have some models that will do it).There are probably some other models that will work if any else would like to make some suggestions.

You need a printer with tractor feed. A drum printer, train printer, band printer, or a dot matrix printer.

if your looking for a really long continuous print;i would say a dot matrix.any printer that supports banner printing may be capable of an unlimited or quite long length.though on some ,you may be able to only use a certain size or type,like plain paper to do this, and you may need a software program that is capable to run it.
