It is exactly like a home inkjet - except the printer carts are huge and it is high speed. The printer head on it moves across it just as it does on your home ink jet.

Printing is no different than printing a picture from off your hard drive and sending it to your printer. Photo shop the picture, load it into computer hooked to the super wide printer, make a few adjustments with the super wide printers software and then hit print. It would only take about 15 minutes to print.

The printers have huge rolls on them (unlike printer paper sheets we have at home)

My guess is that "banner" is about 16' wide by about 32' long, I see no seams in it (it looks seamless), so it most likely was printed on a 16'+ super wide inkjet printer. Some posted the printing company name and website link. They do not have a 16' printer listed on their equipment list, but this 16.4' printer is only $350,000 brand new and they may have picked up a used one for even less. It may not be listed on their website because the equipment is new to them.

From the article link it said this banner was hung in Qana. I just read an article saying in was hung on a bridge in Beirut.

So that solves the transportation time line. Garbage in garbage out.
