If you're a bit simple and get easily excited by things that come in unusual sizes, check this bad boy out - a printer the size of Wales.

Almost the size of Wales - the awesome Scitex TJ8300 is capable of printing out sheets at a maximum size of 165cm by 370cm, meaning it can knock out 100 billboard posters in an eight hour shift - which would be very annoying if the person in front of you has just accidentally printed out 100 copies of a map.

That's a real man standing next to it in the photo up there. It's huge and we can't stop looking at it in admiration.

Not the biggest printer ever, there are several printers than can print on 5 meter wide material more than 50 meters long in one print. example Nur Expedio 5000. Durst 500. One of the first 5 meters printers was the Nur Blueboard built in 1999.

Thats a very small printer compare to hundreds of other's I've seen lol. Viocom has printer's 3,4,5 times the size of that.

Nice unit, I have printer envy. We will probably see more Texas size printers (really small ones too) within the next 2 years. Silverbrook’s scaleable printing technology will allow for new massive printers and even palm size machines.

The technology is there; we just need to justify the expense of the creation that uses it.
