Common Questions Regarding Map Designs

Q Can you use an image from Google to print my map?

A

No. Online images are not print ready. This means that if we print an image from the internet, no matter the size of the map it will not print clearly. The map will print blurry or pixelated. Online images are often copyrighted to the specific site on the internet and would impose infringement. The file must be created to the size that is intended for print.

Q Have a map idea, but don’t know what to do next?

A

We can help. Fill out our map request form and one of our representatives will contact you to discuss your project. We will consult with you by asking questions and discussing in detail what you are looking to achieve.

Q Do you update old map files?

A

Yes. If you have a map that was printed several years ago and need to have some additions or deletions made to it in order to have the map re-printed, we can help. Fill out our Map Request form and a representative will contact you to discuss your project.

Q Can I send you a photo of a map to print?

A

No. We must have a vectored file of the map to print. We can not print a map from a photo, as you will not be able to view the map correctly.

Q Can you add ads to my map?

A

Absolutely! We add ads to padded and folded maps all the time. Let your representative know during the consultation that you want to add ads to your map.

Q Is there a charge to create my file?

A

Yes. After the consultation, our designers will send over a quote to create the project. Once the quote has been approved by you; the designer will begin to work on the project.
