Nautical Chart Wallpaper

We have been creating our artwork from nautical charts since 1999.

We scan full-sized, full-detail navigational charts using a high resolution Cruse digital capture scanner which can resolve to 1000 DPI.

The scanner produces a large digital file which is processed with imaging software to convert the raster (photographic) data from the scan into vector data.

The file is then set for editing. Color layers can be created and separated. Once the file is layered, high-resolution filters are applied that allow each layer to be processed for content and color.

Experience matters. We have been printing and displaying custom nautical charts and wallpaper since 1999. Your project will be done by us in-house. Nothing will be sent out to "others" to be completed. We use state-of-the-art large format eco solvent printers.

Wallpaper projects are installed like any other vinyl wallpaper using high quality wallpaper paste. It is true vinyl Dream-scape wallpaper not a vinyl peel-and-stick decal. We set up the projects at our shop using 1" overlap on all interior vertical seams to ensure a smooth high quality installation. Any experienced wallpaper installer can handle the job.

Wallpaper projects take 12 days from start to finish if both screen proofs are approved same day, and the print proof is shipped back to us same day as its received. Most of this time is consumed by UPS ground shipping we can always expedite shipping if needed, we have completed custom wallpaper projects in as few as 4 days. Charts for framing can be produced and shipped in a couple of days. If you are ordering a custom chart or project, production time is 2-3 days from the time we get your proof approval.

We can match paint colors by selecting Pantone colors. That said, the best course of action is to always select your paint colors after your wallpaper project has been delivered. It is much easier to match your paint swatches to the printed wallpaper in your home or office than it is to try to pick out the wallpaper colors viewing a monitor and trying to match a paint swatch in your hand. All monitors will show colors slightly differently. Many people take a scrap of the wallpaper that is trimmed off during installation to their paint store to be scanned, ensuring a perfect match.

Smaller items are shipped by first class US mail. Large, heavier items are shipped by UPS ground. We can ship on your UPS or Fed Ex account if desired.

No, all charts are sold as frame ready art. We frequently ship charts directly to frame shops for customers. We recommend www.pictureframing.com or www.artgalleryframes.com for online framing.
