Wrong. And the reason for the search :)
The 500CPI strips from USDigital are actually $4 per inch (
they have now corrected the website after refusing to accept
orders!)

Also they only go up to 34" and some of the lathes people
are trying to add to need 40+, so the 42" printer one looks
interesting ( and was quoted at $60 ).
