How can you make a prop newspaper?

[Jedifyfe]

I have wanted to make the 2015 newspaper from Back to the Future 2. I have been reworking the image and I'm just about done. I have access to a really good laser printer at my work and I have tried to print it on Newsprint, but the printer keeps jamming. Has anyone printed real size newspapers(12x22")??

A member here made a Day of the Dead news paper, maybe they will chime in.

Considering the paper is white you might try printing on an oversized printer using a 20 pound bond paper (standard) and then trimming to the desired size and then adding the scalloped edges

just an idea...

Find someone who has an Epson 1280 or 1520 printer. They can handle 13 inch wide stock and newsprint goes through fine. I've made lots of newspapers doing this.

I haven't tried doing newspapers yet, but I'd probably cheat.. I have a friend who works for the local paper, and he has access to single-sheet newsprinters at work, which would be great for making a "cover sheet", and you could just put a regular paper inside to fill it out.
