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.

Born in Sandhurst, Berkshire, England, Sands undertook an apprenticeship in England as a mapcolorer and engraver. He left for Australia in 1837 and arrived in Sydney with £500 worth of stationary and established a shop on George Street.

In 1851, he entered into the first with his brother-in-law Thomas Kenny. This partnership took over James Williams's printing firm in Melbournes in 1852.
