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.

Pingree-Traung Company (1911 - 1966) was a lithographic printing firm founded in San Francisco in 1911. The company operated at Battery and Green Streets, under this imprint until 1916 when it was renamed 'Traung Label and Lithography'. The firm specialized in fruit box labels and other commercial lithography and chromolithography. In 1926, they purchased the 'Stecher Lithograph Company' of Rochester, New York (founded 1887), and renamed themselves 'Stecher-Traung'. In 1966, the firm was acquired by International Paper and folded into general operations. More by this mapmaker...
North American Press Association (fl. c. 1911 - 1915) was a San Francisco based publishing concern active in the early 20th century. The firm has only 1 recorded copyright entry, a large and dramatic view of San Francisco. However, there is some evidence that they produced fruit-labels, as their advertisements appear in American Fruits as late as 1914. They were based in the Hearst Building. Learn More...
