Digital Map Information
Geographicus maintains an archive of high-resolution rare map scans. We scan our maps at 300 DPI or higher, with newer images being 600 DPI, (either TIFF or JPEG, depending on when the scan was done) which is most cases in suitable for enlargement and printing.

Digital orders are delivered as ZIP files, an industry standard file compression protocol that any computer should be able to unpack.

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
Umiumi Matsu (July 18, 1883 - October 30, 1925) was a draftsman active in Hawaii in the early 20th century. Matsu first appears in Oahu city directories in 1902 as a clerk for the first land district. In 1909, Matsu was working as a clerk for the Hilo Railroad Company. The following year he is listed as a chainman for the road department in Hilo. He was working as a surveyor for the Thomas Cook Company in Hilo in 1911 and in 1912 he was working as a draftsman for the Loan Fund Commission in Hilo. A year later, in 1913, Matsu began working as a draftsman for the department of public works, where he worked until at least 1920. He created at least one commercial map during his lifetime: a road map of Oahu for the Honolulu Automobile Club. Aside from the entries in the Oahu city directories, we have been unable to unearth very little information about Matsu's life. More by this mapmaker...
