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 originally ordered this print in a larger size but was not pleased with the clarity of it. When I contacted Zazzle, they responded really quickly and were very helpful. I was able to reorder the print in a smaller size and it was shipped to me within a couple of weeks. The print was packaged well to ensure there was no damage during transit (Eco friendly, too!), and I am really pleased with it. I am so grateful to the customer service team for the professional way they handled my order. I had this printed on matt finish card and I was really pleased with the quality. The colours were rich and the image sharp.
