Nope, most solent based prints are dried as they come off the printer. Print and then sew or weld the pieces together, no drying time needed.

Human Rights Watch puts Qana death toll at 28

NEW YORK, Aug 2 (Reuters) - The U.S.-based rights watchdog Human Rights Watch on Wednesday put the death toll from an Israeli air strike at the Lebanese village of Qana at 28 and 13 missing, below the official Lebanese figure of 54 dead.
The incident on July 30 was one of the deadliest strikes in the 22-day-old war between Israel and the Lebanese-based Hizbollah guerrillas and jolted international efforts to resolve the conflict.
"The initial estimate of 54 persons killed was based on a register of 63 persons who had sought shelter in the basement of the building that was struck, and rescue teams having located nine survivors," Human Rights Watch said in a statement on Wednesday.
"It now appears that at least 22 people escaped the basement, and 28 are confirmed dead, according to records from the Lebanese Red Cross and the government hospital in Tyre," Human Right Watch said in a statement. It gave the names and ages of those killed.
The other 13 people were missing and presumed by some Qana residents to be buried in the rubble.
Of the 28 dead, 16 were children, Human Rights Watch said.
The group said it based its report in part on interviews with two witnesses to the Qana attack, one who was in the building during the strike and a second person who lived in the neighborhood and assisted in the recovery.
The U.N. Security Council on Sunday unanimously adopted a statement deploring the attack and asked U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan to report within a week "on the circumstances of this tragic incident."
Israel has called Qana a hub of Hizbollah activity, which some Lebanese sources have disputed.
Human Rights Watch said Israel had said the military targeted the house because Hizbollah fighters had fired rockets from the area. The group said its own researchers who visited Qana on July 31 did not find any destroyed military equipment in or near the home.
"Rescue workers recovered no bodies of apparent Hizbollah fighters from inside or near the building," Human Rights Watch said.
If I understand correctly, the design isn't very time consuming. It's the printing, knitting, preparation and transport that takes awhile, even with state of the art equipment.
LOL. I like your sense of humor!
Qana..."Islamic Performance Art." Matinees daily.
Are those pictures all one-piece, and locally printed?
***They had high-dollar help from people who knew when and where to be.***
Whenever these episodes occur, the name "George Soros" always comes to mind...
up to 104" wide (just over 8 and a half feet)...that poster is at least 12 feet wide. It also does that relatively narrow strip at 484 sq ft/hr at lowest resolution of 360 dpi... and a maximum roll weight of 220 lbs.
print speed drops off dramatically with higher resolutions. (the printer on the next page http://www.roland-lb.com/printing_1.htm can get up to 75 sq ft/min at 720*720, in bidirectional mode.
It's hard to tell with the Coke ad whether it's one piece or not (and that's also the type of thing that gets shipped)...but aside from that one, the only one with an object that suggests scale shows one that is probably only 8' tall.
First one does magazines. Second one does up to 104"*74". Third one does mostly small-scale sutff but does include "billboards" among their products with no specifics as to size or techniques. The largest thing that they show is about 4' wide.
I do wonder if the draw next to the right of her eyes is indicative of sewing.
That banner is more than 10' wide.
I have said this for several days now, but it comes up against fairly deaf ears on FR. While it may be unlikely for a poster like this to be made from scratch on short notice, that mentality adds an unnecessary dimension to the project.
That is, it doesn't have to have been created from scratch in a matter of a few hours.
It was clear Dr Rice was going to the region, and the bad guys knew that for as many as 8-10 days before the poster was revealed. Plenty of time to prep the graphic, and leave the text off.
When an opportune situation came up, they add the text to the poster. That can be done by hand in a few hours.
I have no idea why this straightforward concept is so difficult for so many folks around here to wrap their minds around.
Probably not 20, but 14-16 seems likely. Certainly well more than the 8.5' used for billboards, or the 10' Isreali-made printer suggested.
Of course it is true.
They are finding only about 28 dead bodies. Not the huge amount first reported by TV -- falsely at that.
Did your company promote that it could do prints as large as x when it really could do 2x?
Regardless, the links you cite show a consistant cap at 104" (or even print magazines and calendars, which are irrelevant), which is not a proof that "they" can do 14'-16' wide prints, or even really a suggestion.
I'm not making the argument that this proves that the banners were pre-ordered in preparation for the event, but for those that make that argument, repeatedly citing machines capable of not more than 8.6' hardly addresses it.
I think the ordered that from the demo rats website.
the banner that is the bush nazi one was sold out.
That banner isn't stitched, as far as I can see. It looks like the entire think is silk-screened; a long process when you consider the size of that thing!
