Hi Orillian,

Are you really sharing your map file? I thought we could only by the printed enlarged version.

If youre saying that we can have it, then I want it Otherwise, sorry for asking…

Hi Orillian

Who is Orillian?

Are you really sharing your map file

That’s the use of this thread.

What do you mean by “by” (buy?)? There’s nothing to buy, the files are for free.

Hi dedo

First can I say thanks for all your hard work on this. The result looks great.

I am intending to get the 1129x600mm version printed and note that BananeDC used “450gr anti-fire stuff”. Obviously I would ask the printer’s advice but wondered whether you had a recommendation?

Thanks again.

Cheers

Thank you for giving kudos to me!

I take so called Blockout Banner (760gr/qm) or PVC Banner (510gr/qm) with antiglare. Both can be printed with a solution of 720 dpi, inks should be a mild or eco solvent.

It is important to take heavy ware (a lot of gr/qm). This kind of quality lays perfectly on a table and could be furled easily by avoiding folds.

Thanks very much for the advice dedo.

Can anyone recommend or suggest a venue for printing this. I went into my local office max who has printing services and they looked at me like I have two heads…

My brother printed 3 maps for myself and friends in the UK. He has his own small print business, but actually sourced them from Italy.

Where are you?

Ah, alas, I am state side. New York area to be exact. Any other ideas?

Unfortunately, I can’t recommend a special shop because I’m from Germany but instead I recommend you to do an internet search with the following search terms:
canvas printing, vinyl banner printing, eco solvent printing, New York

Thanks. I appreciate the advice, I will begin my hunt…

Just as a public service, I had the 1941 Supreme map (1329x700mm, or 52x28") printed at my local Fed-Ex Office print shop on outdoor banner vinyl.  It cost me about $70 (US dollars) to have this done.  I know not everyone will get the same prices or print the same size, but that’s just to give a ball park figure in 2016 dollars of what a typical big box print shop will charge for such a project. Kudos to Dedo for making this available to the A&A community! Two pics below include one shot ready to play, and another showing the size difference between the printed map and the original board map. Here’s my results:
