Using imaging material binding techniques to simulate continuous sheet printing with single sheets of print media. Imaging material is applied to a binding region along the trailing edge of a first sheet. The trailing edge of the first sheet and the leading edge of a following second sheet are overlapped and the imaging material is activated to bind the sheets together. This process may be repeated for successive sheets to form one continuous sheet. The invention may be implemented, for example, in a stand alone appliance used in conjunction with a conventional single sheet printer, as an integrated printing device, or through a computer readable medium used to control operations in one or both of these devices.
