No idea what their pricing is but the friend who recommended them said $6-12 psf-- guessing we're looking at something like 24" wide by 30" tall here, i.e. maybe $50-60 range per poster . . . no clue about setup fees and such.<br/>

<br/>From looking around elsewhere on that site, it looks like the maps were scanned in as TIFFs, so perhaps an email to the right person there could procure the original for printing purposes. The flash applet looks like it'd be a mess to print from, at least at full resolution.</div>

<p>I work right across from the Regenstein, so if you give me the contact info I can probably arrange to pick swing by with a blank cd or flash drive and get the tiff. If you're at critical mass, I can probably hand it to you there. I'm also interested in getting a nice print of the map also.</p>
