How Large Can I Print?
In general, at 300 DPI, you should at least be able to double the size of the actual image, more so with our 600 DPI images. So, if the original was 10 x 12 inches, you can print at 20 x 24 inches, without quality loss. If your display requirements can accommodate some loss in image quality, you can make it even larger. That being said, no quality of scan will allow you to blow up at 10 x 12 inch map to wall size without significant quality loss. For more information, it is best consult a printer or reprographics specialist.
Refunds
If the high resolution image you ordered is unavailable, we will fully refund your purchase. Otherwise, digital images scans are a service, not a tangible product, and cannot be returned or refunded once the download link is used.
Cartographer
Lev Markovich Abramovich (1884 - 1948) was a Russian Jewish emigré who lived and worked in Harbin, China, as a typographer, lithographer, and bookbinder. He graduated from a vocational school in Odessa in 1903 and worked in the Echo of China printing house in Shanghai from 1907 until 1910. Abramovich arrived in Harbin in 1910 and he founded the Typo-Lite-Zincoography L.M. Abramovich (Типо-Лито-Цинкографя Л. М. Абрамовича) in 1911. Authors living in 'Russian Harbin' often printed their books directly in printing houses and bypassed formal publishing houses, a practice for which Abramovich's printing firm was suited. Our research indicates that Abramovich's printing house closed in 1943. Abramovich died in Harbin in 1948. More by this mapmaker...
