Printing old maps

Needs some more work and better quality plywood, but good enough for my own use for now. The map is from 1871, resized to fit the frame. I used Stucki at 2400mm/min and max power 60% and 1 pass on the Atomstack A5 M50 - which was a mistake because it came out too light, so I ran it 2nd time over the first burn. Live and learn! Next time I’ll add a “drawn” border to make it look more paper like.

Oh, and it’s not in the frame yet, I lacquered it and waiting for that to dry before I can mount it properly.
