I've started to use flip maps and something like this looks interesting. Has anyone used the services of this company? What do you think of the quality? I didn't see if any Golarion maps or custom maps can be created.
Guess not :-(
Yes...I've used them. Their endless terrain flip maps are great and well worth the money. My only complaint: they're a small company and it took forever for them to deliver my order...to the extent that I had to ask paypal to revoke my order before they'd send the maps.
That's interesting. I made some maps based on Master of the Fallen Fortress that I was going to use for pickup games and demos... was going to take them to a print service to get printed and never did, wasn't quite sure how to go about it. That they can print straight from CC3 files is especially appealing because it means I don't have to worry about converting to the right size/scale image file.
I'd be curious to see what they could do, although two things make me hesitate very strongly--Greystaff's post, and the fact that when I clicked on their order page (to see what their rates were), I got a "server is busy, cannot load page" message.
They have a list of people they print maps for, including Rite Publishing who I believe have representatives which post here on the Paizo boards. You might put inquiries into them to see how they feel they work.
You could try sending a PM as he posts here now and then. User profile
As wonky as their site is I would probably avoid them.
My site is 7 years old, and I am not a web designer (even though I designed that site). While the site does point to an Ecommerce page, almost nobody ever orders from there (it contains specific publisher maps, like EN Publishing's Burning Sky campaign maps). Mostly people send me an Email with their map attached, and I quote them a price and go from there. In all honesty, my direction is going towards publication and digital map content creation, and less in printing. Although I have a large format Canon printer capable of 1440 dpi printing in 12 colors, most maps are 300 dpi prints up to 36" x 48" printing with optional lamination. My price is $2.99 per square foot for print only, so a 24" x 36" print is $16.94. Shipping is the killer, and often the cost of a shipping tube, plus shipping (I don't fold maps) is more than the cost of a map print.
My main issue, is that Gamer Printshop operated out of my daytime digital print company and that business is closed, as of last year.
I also do map commissions for publishers, I designed the original hand-drawn map to the city of Kasai for the Jade Regent AP, and I develop the Kaidan setting of Japanese horror (PFRPG) as an imprint under Rite Publishing. I am one of Rite Publishing's freelancers.
Most of my time these days, I am writing a series of Map Tutorials Guide Books using any standard graphics application, and creating a series of map icon sets - following a Kickstarter last year to fund it.
