    So is that material like the pages in toddler's books that can't be torn or like a place mat or is it more like regular cloth. Like, could you use it with Windex to clean a window?

    It looks great btw.

    Cloth is a great material for printing maps on! I remember when Ultima Online was released it came with the world map printed on cloth and it was always a fan favorite, became a collectors item and is so much more durable than any paper item.
    I had or have that somewhere.

    Hmm, printing on cloth... I never thought about it before, and I love the idea. I will consider it for my maps.

    The details look like they're on good paper.

    Such maps on fabric are used in 3 ways:
    as decoration
    as gadgets
    and as a handout during a role-playing session

    I've been using these prints very much at home for some time now (tablecloths, bags).

    I'm wondering what other gadgets I could make of them.
    I'm tempted to draw a couple of maps especially for fabric prints. Maybe for t-shirts or something else.

    I’ll have to look into that, I like the look. Unfortunately my local printer doesn’t offer that type of paper so I’ll have to do some hunting haha. Thanks for the tip!

    I would be very interested in hearing how these have held up over time? I imagine they last a lot longer than paper, but how much longer?
