Got the A1 version of my star map. Again, as with the small test version, the photos simply don’t do it justice, but I had to post some anyway.
You can see some dice in one pic, and the small test print in two others, to compare the size. And, yes, I really need better lighting in this apartment.
But I’ve also learned two lessons more to the subject matter:
- I am very happy I did not edit the image – the test print seemed dark and the labels hard to read; on the A1 map both the color and the readability of the labels are absolutely perfect in my opinion.
- It was an excellent choice to go with matte photo paper, over the glossy stuff.
I’ll get two A3 matte versions printed in a few days (Saturday) as well. One is going to go to Lex Mosgrove, because he claimed that he wanted one.
This is really cool, how/where did you get them printed in the large format?
I used a local photo store (Foto Fix, at Turmstrasse here in Berlin). Really nice guys (and girls), too.
