Sensible solutions via SDI APS (Active Printing System)

Problem	Solution
Other image applications default to 8.5x11" when printing	APS displays actual size of image, and sets 1:1 scale printing by default
Image clips even though there is ample paper width available	APS print preview window mirrors the scale and orientation of the image as it would appear on the plotting surface
A wall-sized rendering of an image is needed. Standard practice is to slice the image and scale & print each piece the same, or the plot fails.	APS automatically tiles the width, and plots down the entire roll, without clipping Provides an easy method to plot 1:1 scale without the risk of wasted attempts at printing
