Map Print Cost Estimates

I found this today. Might be good for a quick estimate for a client.

Anyone remember a link posted (maybe here but I can't find it) to an on-demand oversized map print shop. You could get large versions of ready made maps or submit your own project. This was probably in the last month or so?

I need to find someone who can print a one-off map very large (78x40)?

I just did my map and the quote was at least twice than what the map printing companies quoted.

For large (78 x 40) one-off output, I recommend BigPosters.com

I'd be grateful if someone could recommend a way of getting some sort of cheap ($2/sq ft) color output. Electrostatic plotter somewhere?

Thanks for the link. For those of us that don't do printing that often, or are trying to get into it, it's a good starting point for knowing what sorts of information to ask from your client - or what sort of information other printers need to know before coming to them.

FYI The estimate seem to be closer to real cost if using the standard sheet size they suggest and much higher if you input any custom size.

It does provide a quick and perhaps useful ballpark figure.

I think this may be what you are talking about for a one-off print Martin:
