How Large Can I Print?
In general, at 300 DPI, you should at least be able to double the size of the actual image, more so with our 600 DPI images. So, if the original was 10 x 12 inches, you can print at 20 x 24 inches, without quality loss. If your display requirements can accommodate some loss in image quality, you can make it even larger. That being said, no quality of scan will allow you to blow up at 10 x 12 inch map to wall size without significant quality loss. For more information, it is best consult a printer or reprographics specialist.
Refunds
If the high resolution image you ordered is unavailable, we will fully refund your purchase. Otherwise, digital images scans are a service, not a tangible product, and cannot be returned or refunded once the download link is used.
Cartographer
Juan Moro (September 7, 1869 - June 28, 1953) was an Italian printer and publisher who was active in Resistencia, Argentina. Born in Marbegno, Lombardy in Italy, Moro attended the Central School of Turin before emigrating to Argentina in 1887. His first job in Argentina was with a small printing firm in Buenos Aires before he found a position in the workshops of the South American Bank Company. He moved to Resistencia, in Chaco Province, 1901. Once in Resistencia he opened his own printing and bookstore on February 28, 1901. He soon gained the friendship and trust of the governor of Chaco, Enrique Luburiaga, who trusted Moro with delicate printing projects. Moro built a new building for his firm which opened in 1906, equipped with modern machines and became one of the best equipped houses in northern Argentina. Moro's firm published newspapers, magazines, memoirs, official bulletins, and the work of numerous authors from Chaco. Beginning in 1920, Moro published the Annual Guide of the Chaco (Guia Annual del Chaco), which then appeared in subsequent editions in 1921, 1922, 1923, 1924, 1925-26, and 1935-36. Moro died in Resistencia in 1953. More by this mapmaker...
