Size and Finish
All versions of this map are printed at an incredible 300 DPI resolution. No matter which version you get, it will look great. However, there are some notable differences.
The 16″x20″ and 18″x18″ Museum Matte Paper versions are designed to make a statement in any room. Their composition includes additional spacing which visually focuses the map, making them ideal to be framed and hung on the wall. These are museum-quality, giclée prints made on thick, durable, archival, and acid-free matte paper. If you are looking for a beautiful work of art to hang on the wall, this is probably the version you want.
The 24″x30″ Glossy Photo Paper version is meant for map enthusiasts. The glossy finish creates sharp detail on even the smallest elements. Reduced borders on this composition means the map fills the maximum available space. If you are looking for a BIG version where you can study all the traditional topographic map details, this is probably the version you want. It will look great framed or hung on the wall like a traditional poster.
