I just wanted to say that I printed out a very large map size at 2440mm x 1118mm ( roughly 8 foot x 4 foot) on a digital printed transparency with a matt laminate and it has turned out fantastic. The quality was amazing. I searched everywhere to see if it could upscale and could not find the answers. Hopefully this will help someone who is thinking of doing the same.
I have built a custom table with magnets sunken into the table to hold the map in place. I wanted to use the table to play other games so the map had to roll up.
I also wanted to use the table for Global War 1936 and the magnets work well

@The_Good_Captain OK - here is the mediafire link with a folder for Shogun and 5 pics that we took. What do you think of the image quality, etc.? I may be able to use a higher quality image setting on our camera if you feel it would be more ideal, etc.

@Vital-Signs well done! which one did you want first?
-
@The_Good_Captain OK great - so do you feel the quality of the images are up to par? No preference at all on the order. Very much appreciated!
-
@Vital-Signs yeah they should work - i think you should be happy with the result. I will remove the board lines and crop and send them back to you. need about a month or so, maybe two with the holidays. I will post as soon as one is finished and then the other as soon as it is finished.

@The_Good_Captain 10-4 Captain. Thx again!

@The_Good_Captain Hello Captain - just following up to see if by chance you have had the time to make any headway on these maps? Thank you!
-
@Vital-Signs I have made some but not much. I use the free download program gimp and the clone tool in that program. thats about it. otherwise, give me another month and I might have conquest of the empire done.
-
@The_Good_Captain OK great. Thank you so much for this update Captain!
-
@The_Good_Captain Hello Captain - just checking back in with you to see if there has been any progress on these maps? Thank you!

I’m going to make a short video for you on how to do it. Its something I thought I would be able to do but I realize I just can’t anymore with the baby around.
But I will make and post a short video this weekend and link it here. It’s far simpler to do than I think most folks realize and so I can do that. Its not that its a complex process. Its more that its kind of a grind.
I’ll post the link here in a couple days. Sorry my dude - but I promise everything I’m about to show you is very simple and can be done.
