    Jesus I’ve worked with point of sale printers for a long time and this person deserves a high paying position at Epson

      My home Epson printer supports paper as long as 1117.6 mm (44.0 in) out of the box so it can print a shorter one in color. Maybe some models have firmware hacks to disable paper feed between pages, enabling continuous printing.

    I hope the plan is traveling in a relatively straight line.

        Why “/s”? He literally did that. If you’re using it to sail across the river, it does not matter what its overall shape is - you can’t get lost anyway but it will help to know about amenities ashore.

        Surprisingly many printers with manual feed options support meter-long sizes or more so it’s feasible to print it cheaply in color too (using receipt paper for the rarer dot-matrix printers).

      Or just rotate it to direction of travel if it’s for a route. After a turn is shown it would switch to forward is up.

      As an Egyptian, I think this would be a great map format for our country.

      Though the delta would pose an issue, the nile also goes diagonal in the south, so it’d have to switch from north-up in the north to nortwest-up in the south which would probably be jarring
