exactly
in California the mandated size is 18" x 26" for subdivision maps of 
various flavors.
engineering drawings are variable, 24" x 36" is really common.
I used to have a 36" printer that used 36" wide roll stock, but when it 
died I went to 24"... then after I "retired"
later I started using a Kikos or some such... email them the file, pick 
up the product at the store.
dunno who is better, but lots of people shop it out.
