Now here is a lady that is putting her printer to good use.

Cleveland painter, Phyllis Seltzer, uses a Canon color printer and heat transfer process to create prints that are 70-100% the size of her original oil paintings. How does she do it? First she prints out 11 x 17 inch sections of the original. Then while the image is still hot she turns the page over and transfers the ink on to acid-free archival paper. Last she glues the smaller pieces together in to one large pictures.

Using the heat transfer process allows Seltzer’s assistants to make up to three prints per day. They also touch the images up with colored pencils when necessary.

This is pretty amazing work.
