US High Speed Rail - scroll down for updated map Poster

Quality was in line with the cost. I'm concerned about sun fade, because I plan to keep it facing out of a south window that gets several hours of sun daily. A good number of people go past that window daily. Not easy to tell whether the blank stock is paper or plastic; it's fairly-heavy card stock, no doubt with a surface carefully designed for computer printing, probably by inkjet. Inkjet printing can have very high quality; it's called "giclée" when used for creating artistic prints with close color control (color profiling) and more than four ink colors, on stock matched to the inks. Giclée prints can justifiably sell as fine art, and long-term stability is quite important. What I have is a modest-cost map of the USA, showing proposed high-speed rail lines nationwide. It's a labor of love, one could conclude. Imho, Edward Tufte would approve. It's quite well designed, and attractive. It could well outlast me :) (I'm approaching 80.) It came in a mailing tube that was unnecessarily long, perhaps twice what it needed to be, but also less likely to become mislaid in shipping. It was rolled "interleaved" with a generous amount of smooth kraft paper, so that °uncured" ink could not possibly. transfer, nor could unlikely abrasion affect the surface. The blank stock was curled, of course, but de-curling enough for casual placement in the window required no aggressive measures. IIrc, a good reverse roll was enough. (I didn't frame it.). Just fine. Colors typically were not fully saturated, but that, I'm sure, was the intent of the graphic artist. Saturated colors everywhere were inappropriate, and would have been garish. It's quite likely that color profiling was used completely, and more than four ink colors. Hexachrome®? I don't know, but afaik, that's for offset lithography.

Great, attention getting art. Came looking great and in great condition and packaing

I was so amazed at how this all turned out. Everyone who attended the funeral was in awe of how beautiful it was made. And I owe it all to Zazzle. I wouldn’t have done it better myself not to mention I wouldnt have time to do it. The great part of it all was they had templates that was catered to my needs and that I could use it in ways I wanted to use to resize it my way. It took some time but I was happy it turned out great. I did 100 photos, 89, 66 photos (I think) lol templates. The only suggestion is that the templates, before sending through would tell you of errors like; saying please revise or resize it again for any photos that is not perfectly well sitting or not show it’s cutting off some of them and where it tells you there’s duplicates. Staring, placing and resizing all 100 + pictures into the template can be tiresome and overwhelming and it makes my eyes blurred that I can’t tell if they’re cutting off or overlapping or duplicates. Overall I am very pleased and will be using Zazzle again should the need arises. Thank you Zazzle. Altogether I’ve done 3 collages 1 profile picture and couple pictures with 1 frame and yet this is my first time ordering as a 1 time customer. Prices were very reasonable and accommodating to my finances. .
