is there anything hardware or software wise i can tweak in this printer to print 13x38 or 13x57....inotherwords how can i print longer than 19 inch?

Aaron, I am not certain about the ipf9500. But....

The Epson 3800, powered by the EPSON PRINT DRIVER, is limited to 17 by 36 inches as it is not set up to print roll paper, but only sheet fed stock.

With the ImagePrint RIP, however, it will print as long as you want - up to 8 feet or more, since the RIP drives the printer, not the Epson print driver. I suspect that might be true of the 9500 as well, if it is supported by ImagePrint. Be aware, that ImagePrint costs more than most consumer style printers cost.

Perhaps there are other RIPs that support the Canon 9500 as well.

Thanks, i will talk to people about RIP this next week.
thanks for the warning, i doubt i will pay very much for this tweak....
i will see what Lexjet has to say too...i believe they do RIP
maybe i will just print all big ones with a pro....

it just bugs me to have a 19 inch limit.....


if anyone has any info at any point in time add is here!

I have the canon i9950 (the nz model) and I've looked into different RIP's etc to get over the length limit. Apparently it is a firmware issue in the printer and not a software issue in the driver.

All the RIP makers I talked to said there is no way round it unless canon change the printer firmware (canon tend to not add features in firmware, just fix bugs)
