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.

Pan American World Airways (1927 - 1991), originally Pan American Airways, was one of the most important companies in the history of aviation. Under the leadership of Juan Trippe, the company was a pioneer in international passenger air travel, beginning with seaplane services from the United States to South and Central America. In the mid-1930s, it began to offer Transpacific flights from San Francisco to Honolulu, Hong Kong, the Philippines, Australia, and New Zealand. Taking inspiration from nautical transportation, Pan Am dubbed its planes 'Clippers,' adopted other naval terminology, and had pilots and crew wear naval-style uniforms. In seeking to outcompete steamships, Pan Am offered passengers luxurious amenities. Its success in the prewar period left the company in an advantageous position at the start of the jet age, when it became the gold standard for international travel in the passenger air industry. However, the company began to falter in the 1970s and declared bankruptcy in 1991. More by this mapmaker...
Jeppesen (1934 - present), originally Jeppesen and Company, is a Colorado-based company offering products and services related to aeronautical navigation and operations. Founded by aviation pioneer Elrey Borge Jeppesen and with important contributions from his wife, Nadine Jeppesen, a leading female figure in the early history of aviation, the company established a reputation in the mid-20th century for high-quality aeronautical navigation charts. By the 1970s, the company had expanded to other countries and adopted innovative methods, employing computers in navigation and flight planning. It was purchased several times by larger companies, including eventually by Boeing, while also undertaking its own acquisitions. Learn More...
