Phase, looks good and I don't mind the contrast and the size, hell I like the fold marks and the heavy contrast on the folds, I could frame that sucker for the wall or a tattoo on my ass :)

I'll probably stick with the larger prints then unless I get more feedback, I like them as well and think they will look nicer than if I tried the colored paper route. I will probably get a second round of test prints to see if I can improve it a bit. The printer at the store prints quite a bit differently than what I see on screen and compared to my printer at home.

Do both, film the latter, compress it to fit on a TurboGrafx CD+G. Hand them out to everyone here. Yeah!

We need the actual size of the map and then get someone to print up some sweet but cheap outputs of it!

That would be an awesome idea.

Small update, I did a second test print this week with some tweaks, will need to do another though to see if I can get it nicer and more the way I want. I wish I could just use my printer at home, it does large sizes as well but it would just cost way to much, so I'm just going to have to do a few tweaks then check it at the store.. the print is close though so it shouldn't be much of a problem.

I tested folding and it doesn't work very good. Its thicker paper and not colored so after folding and unfolding many times you start to get cracking in the surface with small amounts of white paper showing through. So I will have to roll it up into a box to ship it like I was planning. I'm guessing most people won't want to fold it anyway.

So did you just make a black and white poster that is rather thick?

I am trying to match the average color of the original map
Here are the pics from the first test prints (I kept them as links because they are larger pics)
Well got a few tests ran off today.

these first test runs came off a little heavy on the contrast making it look a little dark.

Alternatively I could try to make more of a replica of the original as I found some very close colored paper.
The pic shows more of a difference than in real life and the map has aged 20 years so this could be right on.

Have not opened the paper pack yet, do you guys like the prints more or should I try and make it closer to the original on this standard sized colored paper?

Note: the original map did not fit in the jewel case folded

I like the way it looks with the dark burnt looking creases! Like an old treasure map.

Will you be offering both versions?

yup I was planning on having both versions together, so everyone would get one of each.  :)

Posted on the other thread but going to post here too. I would definitely want a set of these so I could hang them up. :)

Are there physical copies of a map?

No.  They were all destroyed by the scanning process.

Most I've laughed on the forum in quite some time...

Glad I got on this thread after missing it when I was on vacation.  Coming back to 100000 pages is always a chore/exciting.
