I just wanted to say that I printed out a very large map size at 2440mm x 1118mm ( roughly 8 foot x 4 foot) on a digital printed transparency with a matt laminate and it has turned out fantastic. The quality was amazing. I searched everywhere to see if it could upscale and could not find the answers. Hopefully this will help someone who is thinking of doing the same.
I have built a custom table with magnets sunken into the table to hold the map in place. I wanted to use the table to play other games so the map had to roll up.
I also wanted to use the table for Global War 1936 and the magnets work well
Help maintaining printed maps
-
So, I need some help when in comes to maintaining/taking care of printed maps,
I have a printed vinyl map, but when I stored it away I guess I didn’t roll it up and put it away properly as when I pulled it pack out the edges were all extremely crumpled as the map’s weight literally caused it to fold itself on the bottom.
How do I prevent this from happening? Is there anyway to undo my crumpled map edges? I really don’t want to buy another map because it was very expensive and I really don’t have the money to buy one at the moment. Additionally, is there anything else when it comes to maintenance that I need to be aware of?
Thank you for any help given.

Not much worse than a creased matt.
Mt first try would be to warm the fold with a hair dryer/heat gun, depending how much heat the vinyl can handle. May help you move the material back into the correct position.
Luck.
