Digital Map Information

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
The Union Printing Company (1898 - c. 1995) was a printing company founded in Portland, Oregon. It was incorporated in 1902, and by 1905, Charles S. Beard had become its president and held that position until 1952. In 1910, the company changed its name to the Union Printing. Binding and Stationary Company after three other printers, John E. Impy of the Pacific Bindery Works, W. B. Phillips of the Bellingham Printing Company, and Harry B. Selby (who owned a lineotype machine housed in the Bellingham Printing Company), joined Beard and his business partner Templin. Soon after the merger, the company began advertising as the 'largest printing and binding concern in the Northwest'. The name was changed back to Union Printing Company in 1926. We know the company was operating in the mid-199ss, but we have yet to find a definitive answer as to when or if it ceased operations. More by this mapmaker...
