Where can I develop a whole roll of film and not have it cut into individual images?

[wallyworld]

Sorry if the title sounds confusing. A little background:

My aunt bought for me a Lomography 360 Spinner camera and I have ran a roll of film (35mm) through it. (http://shop.lomography.com/us/spinner-360)

I sent the film in for developing only to be informed that because everything is done digitally now, the photos will come out in 4R or 5R size, and I can't print the whole long image out on a single piece. From what I know Lomography does help their customers develop these photos by sending them to Hongkong, but it is ridiculously expensive. Another solution I found is to have it scanned and printing it out at normal printing shops, maybe A2 or A1 size. But scanning services cost up to $12 which I find ridiculous!

Are there any other alternatives? Any shops that can develop the whole long piece of paper?
ps - the film is already processed.

Shops that make vinyl banners may be of help. They use digital printing. Not going to be cheap whatever you want to do...

How to find an enlarger that can take a film negative that long?

many normal digilab don't have scanning machine can take up to 16 cm wide film strip.

anyway, if scanning cost of $12 is expensive, than you buy a flatbed scanner to scan it yourself

a quick Google search found the solution, please see the comment posted in the blog post

this is taken with digital round shot camera, so don't need to use traditional enlarger to print the images.

anyway, the lomo 360 Spinner camera is different from the original round shot camera uses 120 film. I remember Cathy Photo has it many years ago, selling it close to 5K IIRC.

I don't use the 360 camera that often so I really don't wanna invest in the scanner. $12 isn't a HUGE sum, but I just don't find it worthwhile as the cost price isn't high and there isn't much skills involved as well so why am I paying so much haha. Anyone know of any shops (preferably in the East) that does scanning of negatives (processed or unprocessed) at a better price?

Yup, aware of that.

Answered that way because TS was asking specifically this:

It implies enlarging the film negative and developing the print.

By the way, Seitz also sells round shot film cameras.

For TS, there is an Internet community that likes 360 degree views. Airpano. These links may be of interest.

An excellent series of 360º panoramas on Singapore.
