professionals either have wide format printers, or send their art out to a film company to be printed. getting your own wide format 13 x 19 inkjet printer is not really that expensive, if you do alot of printing.

I print it out on ink jet transparencys. Because its so big it prints out in 4 different peices, so i have to attach them together some way. Iv been using clear tape, which in the beginning worked just fine. But now the edges of the tape come through and it basically completely fucks up the entire screen. Im wondering how the pros deal with this problem? do you use some kind of glue? please clue me in because i am getting really frustrated! thanks in advance
