Wall Maps are high quality prints using a standard lithographic method that most books and posters use.

 

Bookshelf Maps are printed the same way as the Wall Maps, but on uncoated paper and are folded.

 

Art Prints are individually printed on a digital plotter using pigmented ink on heavyweight archival paper. They are our highest quality prints.

 

Digital Maps are intended to be used on a laptop, table or phone but can also be printed for individual use. They are low resolution when printed at 24 x 36 inches.
