In the early 90's, i worked on a project that included a 720 dpi 4 foot wide color ink jet printer (no length limit). At the time, you could get film scanned at 6 megapixels (2k x 3k) and burned to CD. I did the math, and there wasn't enough disk for the print file. It would take days to print if you could stream it directly to the printer. And, the printer would run out of ink multiple times for one large print. But this sort of thing isn't that hard anymore.
