I just wanted to say that I printed out a very large map size at 2440mm x 1118mm ( roughly 8 foot x 4 foot) on a digital printed transparency with a matt laminate and it has turned out fantastic. The quality was amazing. I searched everywhere to see if it could upscale and could not find the answers. Hopefully this will help someone who is thinking of doing the same.
I have built a custom table with magnets sunken into the table to hold the map in place. I wanted to use the table to play other games so the map had to roll up.
I also wanted to use the table for Global War 1936 and the magnets work well
Ambilzi & Grasshopper's 1940 Global Map (Video Added)

Update: Still looking to print a large map. I am currently in S. Korea checking with local print shops. Got a quote of USD $120 for printing on banner vinyl for a 53" x 116". Somewhat worried about curling at the edges, but I figure curling would be solvable. As for resolution, one of the southern California printers were gracious enough to print out the European AA map at 1.5 the size …the resolution was satisfactory.

Just picked up a 3m x 1.376m printing of Ambilzi & Grasshopper’s 1940 Global Map. The material is a polyester fabric used to print banners. The resolution is good. My friends and I will playtest it within the month. I’ll report on any wrinkling issues, pros/cons, and feedback from my group regarding the map’s playability.

Perfect map with the naval/air bases printed on it, that really safes space!
Young grasshopper, do you have seperate files only for the Europe and/or Pacific map?
The global file is too big for my computer to cut it by myself. (always ends with an fatal error) -

The global file is too big for my computer to cut it by myself. (always ends with an fatal error)Sorry, I don’t have a smaller file, maybe in the future when I learn more about publishing maps… my only suggestion is to try downloading it from a better computer, transfer it to a flash drive, take it to get printed, and cut it in half.

Hey Guys,
If you’re looking for a good place to get these maps printed, I would suggest BannerBuzz.ca.
I got one of IL’s maps done by them on a 3’ x 6’ vinyl sheet for $52.49 all in.
Quality was good and I got the map in less than a week (Shipped to Canada). From what I can tell the banners are made in India.
From their website it looks like they serve the U.S, Canada, UK, & Australia. -
Great map. We played on it last month (May 2015). We used the type of fabric used for large banners and that was OK. No wrinkles. But the only think about the map is that the colors were not bright…the map colors were a shade on the dark side. But very very playable.
-
lots of reasons for that, could be the printer, could be the material… just make sure the file doesn’t get altered from an outside computer, it could default all the colour profile settings from the computer that edits it.
-
yes i got my map in stirene for 85$ very great for the price thank yg

Looks great, and I’m convinced that styrene is the best material to use, do you agree? One thing I noticed different than mine, and that’s the small white border surrounding the map, I wonder if the printer cut it off on purpose.
-
i think so me to the styrene is the best , very flat no curve i am agree whit you yes the printer cut the white border i can’t wait to try my new map but i need to finisch my other game on other global map ‘original’ was began in febuary
yg where you got your industrial complex ? on my other map i put all facility whith sticker for gain place -

Hey YG, is styrene a good material to put away somewhere? Meaning I can’t leave it out really so is it good to roll up and put it somewhere?
