i am a newbie, and dont know a thing about printing, map making or map weathering... 
but here is my $.02
it seems that printed on plain paper in black is crazy cheap...and i guess you could weather it yourself...and for $6 each you could buy a few and play around, which may appeal to alot of people (including me)
but...
it sure would be nice to have one of these badboys in brown ink on parchment or some cool cloth with that "fresh outa da shire" look really done up right...in which case upwards of $100 would be worth it to some people (including me)
maybe there is a market for both maps?

Adam is the wackier of the two Special Effects Experts on Mythbusters, also a former ILM employee.
If you haven't seen the show, it's fun. :thumbsup
Thanks Adam.
Let Kari know we think she's great. :love

Wow "at cost" printing prices ranging from $6 to $125 bucks.
That wide possible range is why, when I don't know what the price of a "at cost" product is, I always agree with the condition "depending on price".
Glad to see these are still being made, and that people seem to have options based on the amount of money they want to spend.

nah, local sign making place. i hate kinkos. its a long drive to one, and the last time i was at one i didnt have a wonderous joyful time. :angry :angry :angry
the expensive one for me was just laser printed with brown ink. i think that was the main diff in price. yours might be cheaper route because its not a laser printer (ink for them is hellaspensive). im not sure what the solvent whatsis ink process is, but if it looks cool, it looks cool. i might see if they can print up a superman logo for me, ive been meaning to get a couple done for a background of a prop i made a while back.
i just started an interest thread in the JY to get a list going for the cheapy 6$ route. its kinda cool, we have runs for every sized budget on the board :lol.

I will no longer be doing a run of these.
It's not so much the drama as I haven't gotten back the proof yet, and the more I think about it, the more I realize it is a whole lot more work than I want to undertake at the moment. Since Hydin has been kind enough to do his run, I think anyone who wants a large copy of the map can get one.
I will post pics of the demo map when it gets back from the printer -- hopefully it will turn out.

Thanks again to Adam for making it available to us. I'm going to go visit my local Postal Annex today and see how many millions of dollars they want for the use of their 48" plotter.
