Ambilzi & Grasshopper's 1940 Global Map (Video Added)

Great map. We played on it last month (May 2015). We used the type of fabric used for large banners and that was OK. No wrinkles. But the only think about the map is that the colors were not bright…the map colors were a shade on the dark side. But very very playable.

Young Grasshopper

lots of reasons for that, could be the printer, could be the material… just make sure the file doesn’t get altered from an outside computer, it could default all the colour profile settings from the computer that edits it.

Looks great, and I’m convinced that styrene is the best material to use, do you agree? One thing I noticed different than mine, and that’s the small white border surrounding the map, I wonder if the printer cut it off on purpose.

louprouge

Hey YG, is styrene a good material to put away somewhere? Meaning I can’t leave it out really so is it good to roll up and put it somewhere?

It’s the best to print on IMO, and when you’re done… you can make a big roll with it, but I would just slide it up right behind the couch or a large book shelf.

Thanks. I’m not getting the map yet, but I’m hoping to get it in the future. It’s a really nice map. :-D

I just read this thread after watching your youtube videos young grasshopper. I am going to try and get a vanilla print of the map on styrene. Thanks for the file.

So you’re working on a new map? Any details on that?

Be sure to use a print shop that does all their printing in house, get them to explain all your options and prices for each option, and your concerns should be keeping it flat, and being able to wipe the surface clean.

Not sure what I’m doing just yet… got some ideas rolling around and I want to be sure before I spend a lot of time on something.

Cheers.

How strong is the styrene you got, will it lay flat on it’s own? How are the colours that got printed, are they bright and vibrant?
