Capo Verde, as it is formally known as a country, consists of nine major islands and dozens of small islets off the coast of West Africa, in the area known as the Cape Verde Archipelago. The country, a former Portuguese colonial entity, has been independent for forty years.
Due to its location, it has become a significant supply station for ships and for aircraft flying the London-Cape Town route (although less so as newer planes can fly non-stop). Tourism is a growing part of the economy, helped by having a wealth of pristine beaches. Santiago is the Largest island, and Praia the capital (inset map included).
This version benefits by having a detailed map of West Africa on the reverse side. As most communications with Cape Verde would be by air from Europe, such a map is provided more for illustrative purposes than for practical use from the islands. The map is, however, quite detailed and covers from central Mauritania east to western Niger and of course south to the Bight of Benin.This particular version is included as a bonus for Cape Verde.
Gloss Laminate
Gloss laminate makes colours look more vibrant and stand out more, but is quite shiny (reflective). If you’re planning on using a marker of any sort, this is a better choice because it’s easier to clean. Your print will be fully encapsulated (so laminated on both sides) in durable 80 micron laminate and will last you a lot longer than plain paper.
Matte Laminate
Matte laminate has a smooth, non-reflective, very classy looking surface. I wouldn’t say it dulls colours, but it doesn’t make them ‘pop’ (I hate that I just used that word) in the way that gloss does. Matte can be drawn on with pencil (and erased), but is harder to clean if you use markers. Your print will be fully encapsulated (so laminated on both sides) in durable 80 micron laminate and will last you a lot longer than plain paper.
Canvas
Everything looks better on canvas! Something about the texture really makes prints look wonderful. It is quite expensive though. We use a very high quality 340gsm artistic matte canvas. Your canvas print will come rolled with a roughly 50mm white border to allow you to have it stretched or mounted however you wish.
