Habitat do some great tileable wall papers.
If you're feeling flush, there's the fantastic selection from the V&A website by Mimeartist:

I actually bought my Epson specifically for a roll-print job, to do some backing 'wallpaper' for a friend's shop... but that kind of fell through.
It's still on my to-do list for myself though - at the very least, I want to do a massive London A to Z for a wall.

(Jul 30 07, 07:26)i wonder how much materials would run for something like that (roll and inks)? that would be nice.

Not too much, I don't think - lvl_13. I'd bought some sample paper (thin recycled card stock), which I could get cheaply locally, and my intention was to do it 2-tone dark ochre on brown - so, 3-4 print cartridges (blacks and a yellow) and £20 worth of stock.
I'm hoping to move in a month or so though, so there's little point in me doing it for this shitty place.

ahh okay. i was under the impression that you were thinking about printing it on canvas or something of the sort.
either way, it would look great. i hate white walls...so boring...sorta why i started up the photo exchange i gues haha.
