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.

The Heliotype Printing Company (1872 - c. 1900) was a printing company based in Boston. The company was promoted as 'artistic printers by the best photogelatine and photolithographic processes.' They were reorganized in 1885, adapting chromolithographic and photo reprographic techniques. They remained active until at least the 1930s. Their offices were located at 211 Tremont Street, Boston.
