New samples of the Mafrica map arrived yesterday…
The larger map is 36″x 29″ while the smaller is 24″x19″
Paper is medium weight with semi-gloss finish

I like the look of the finish; not sure on the weight of the paper. It is heavier than the 24# and lighter than the 48# (which make sense). I believe it will hold up well for most usage…
Now to ponder things a bit. The semi-gloss, while nice will cost ~$2 more than the more glossy and heavier 48# bond. The lighter weight 28# bond is a nice budget option; I’m leaning towards printing some number of the smaller size and offering as the ‘budget’ option. The standard options for both the large and small size will be printed either on medium weight (semi-gloss) or the heavy weight (a bit more glossy).
Will think on this over the long weekend, so if you have any further feedback on paper, size or price ranges let us know. Once we make final decisions; we should have stock in hand within a week.
