Colton’s 1878 Sectional Map of Colorado

Fine Art Paper: This is a high-performance, matte finished paper that works very well with our reproduction posters. This matte paper is similar to “cardstock”, at 10.3 mil thickness, about double that of normal poster paper. It provides the reproduction to have strong, vibrant color. This paper is a favorite among photographers, designers and artists.

Cotton Fine Art Paper: This is a high-performance, velvet textured, archival fine art print paper. This paper is 100% cotton rag and acid free, with a 19 mil thickness. The printed side of this paper has been specially coated to offer excellent image sharpness and optimal color gradation. This paper is designed specifically to meet the needs of digital photographic output, photographic reproduction and presentation prints for display requirements, and it is used in printing fine art editions costing up to thousands of dollars per piece. It is the closest thing to the texture of the original map. Our reproduction maps look absolutely amazing on this paper.

Canvas: This paper is an acid free, lignin free, heavyweight cotton-poly blend, with 23 mil thickness. This elegantly textured canvas features a matte non-reflective surface with a bright white point, exceptionally high Dmax and a wide color gamut. The canvas base is enhanced with elastic polymers providing high tensile strength and flexibility for gallery wrap stretching without cracking. If you are looking to frame a print in a non-traditional way, canvas works well with our reproduction maps because of its great texture and feel. Canvas is generally wrapped on wooden stretcher bars to create a thick, box-like look.
