Kabul and the Historic Khyber Pass map from ITMB combining on one side a street plan of Kabul showing government buildings, embassies, accommodation, etc, plus on the reverse the eastern half of Afghanistan on an indexed road map.
On one side is a street plan of Kabul at 1:16,500 extending well beyond the central part of the city to include the international airport. The map indicates locations of various governmental and other institutions, international organizations and NGOs, embassies, as well as selected hotels facilities such as markets, banks, restaurants, etc.
Outside the centre only main traffic arteries are named, but the map does indicate district boundaries and gives names of numerous local neighbourhoods. A short index lists main streets in the city.
On the reverse is a map at 1:1,000,000 covering eastern Afghanistan with northern Pakistan including Islamabad and Rawalpindi. Altitude colouring (in feet) shows the topography, with additional graphics for salt flats, swamps, glaciers and deserts, plus plenty of names of mountain ranges, peaks (heights in metres), etc.
Road network includes selected local tracks and indicates the routes of the old Silk Road, Railway lines are included and local airports are marked. Within Afghanistan internal administrative boundaries are shown with names of the provinces.

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.
