There was a time I thought 17" roll feed was big enough.
then we moved to 24", and I thought 44" would be enough
we've been stuck at 44" for years now, and I was adament that that was definitely as big as we needed, but customer demand for us doing full width fabrics has forced us to this upgrade.

(before we met my wife had an Epson 1400 with CISS filled with a nix of Lyson and Artainium) that was unreliable for ink flow, and I quickly learnt and researched pro level printers and we got two 17" Epson, a Stylus Pro 4400 for sublimation, and a 4000 for paper.
