Oversize paper

Post by chesscuber98 »

Where can i find oversize paper with sizes like 1m x 1m or larger.
The maximum i can find is 60 cm x 60 cm,
I have heard that you should tape several sheets together to get large sheets.
Is this true?

1m x 1m is only 100 cm, so you need 4 at least 50cm papers, ans then mc them together. cut it to a square after you glue it together.

Umm i knew that 1m is 100 cm..
Do we use MC because it seeps through the paper or is their any other specific reason

i was working the math out loud - i'm american, we dont use metric system over here. it better than tape because that it makes the paper as if it was one originally, not just connected with tape, which will come apart over time.

You can make DTMC as large as the surface you have to make it one by slightly overlapping the sheets, and then overlap the second layer different from the first so the seams don't end up on top of each other.

The above is an example of tissue & tracing paper, which can be ordered in 36" wide (or wider) rolls (google is your friend).

Where I work now we are continuously ordering stationary and promo material depending on the campaign's concept. I'm pretty sure you can also inquire about non-standard size paper via phone and see what options are available.
