So Epson stops selling 8x23" panoramic paper...

in America.

If I ordered from Epson India I can get it.

:eyes:
(and, yes, I looked over 10 minutes on the US site, then did a 20 second google search and it took me to the site whose prefix turned out to be India's (.in)...)

1. and right when you started doing panoramics, too - how disappointing!
Nice waterfall pic you posted the other day, btw. I didn't post in that thread, but looked at it - wonderful!

2. Does your printer have a roll holder?
That may be your only way to get panoramic prints.

3. Correct - and I should have mentioned in the OP that
the product itself may just be becoming discontinued; whatever stocks remaining dumped on India much like how spent lithium batteries are. :(

Roll paper is fine by me. :)

4. And if you're not printing a full 8.3 x 23.whatever
you'll save a bit of paper too!

5. Honey, if you knew the cost of supplies, I use surprisingly little.
Paper.

It uses ink for breakfast given its resolution and density. Plus they're pigment inks. It's not kiddie tinker toy fodder for $100... (and ironic; for a professional printer aimed at the graphics industry, Mac users complain about problems... they shouldn't. Epson gives them color profiles. And Epson is a primarily PC company. Apple doesn't provide any color profiles (or any drivers at all!) for PC users who buy their monitors...)

6. Ink costs, you know nothing about ink costs!
I have an Epson Stylus Photo 2200 - wide format printer, and I'm an amateur photographer who loves to plaster my walls with my own work.

I don't know where you get your inks, but I've found Atlex (http://www.atlex.com) offers both great service and great prices.
