We take great care to ensure that the best materials, packaging and service are part of every order.
OUR PRINTING PROCESS (printers, inks & paper)
Our nautical charts and maps are printed on high-end professional equipment using art-quality archival inks and paper.
The paper used for 18”x18” prints and larger is an acid-free 32lb bond with a smooth matte, non-glare finish. Prints 13”x19” and smaller are printed on sturdy acid-free card stock with a matte finish.
The inks used in the process are professional grade to provide rich and authentic color and are acid-free to ensure that the prints will not fade over time.
The size of each print refers to the actual size of the paper on which they are printed, leaving a .25” white border around the image. The prints fit nicely inside standard sized frames of the same dimension.
DIGITAL RESTORATION
All maps are meticulously digitally restored to provide you with a clean, clear and beautiful map that honors its period of origin.
In this process imperfections are removed. (Including: creases, smudges, tears, discoloration caused by age, non-original stamps, etc.) The result is a gorgeous map reproduction true to its historical vintage.
PACKAGING AND SHIPPING
All prints are well packaged in sturdy tubes or envelopes to offer guaranteed protection.
Prints sized 13”x19” or smaller ship flat inside a sturdy cardboard shipping envelope with a cardboard insert for added reinforcement. Each print is sealed inside a clear poly sleeve for protection and presentation.
Prints sized 18”x24” or larger ship loosely rolled in a sturdy shipping tube. Each print is inside a plastic sleeve to add protection during shipping and in removing the print.
We fulfill all orders quickly and your print will arrive safely or we will replace it.
