Printing maps

[Impractical Cartographer]

I hope this is a good forum section for this topic.

I've been wondering for a long time what material is best for printing maps. To make the printout nice, durable and easy to carry. The paper is too delicate, it can easily tear, get dirty, crumple. And it doesn't tolerate the moisture well.

Canvas prints are more durable, but they should not be rolled up and are difficult to move from place to place.
I needed material that I could roll up, put in my backpack, unfold and even pour out a beer. And at the same time - inexpensive to print.

A friend of mine found the solution. He printed out my maps on cotton fabrics and waterproof polyester.
Well, I'm in shock. Look at this.







For me, it's just what I was looking for. The maps are nice and durable. The fabric gives them a unique character. Besides, this textile is difficult to scan and piracy.

I wonder what you think of that. And on what material you usually print maps.

Yours sincerely
