unfolded/creaseless charts

Though I a appreciate aeronautical charts for helping me navigate to
my destination without bumping anything, I also admit to having an
aesthetic affection for them as well -- especially sectionals.

So, I've been thinking of perhaps framing some and hanging them from
the wall, not just in the garage (err, ready room) but acually inside
the house.

Does anyone know if it is possible to obtain charts that have never
been folded and have no creases whatsoever, like shipped in a tube?

Ideas?

thanks,

I don't know about availability, but they do exist. They're printed on one
side of the paper too.

Might interest you to know that in the early 1950s, the walls of the
bar in the Officers' Club at Cherry Point Marine Corps Air Station
were decorated with framed aeronautical charts of the Pacific area,
where the Marines spent WW II.

Being charts of the Pacific, they naturally had a lot of blue on
them, punctuated by blobs of green and some browns in odd free-form
shapes. From ten feet away they looked very much like abstract
paintings.

I thought them very attractive.

Get a local shop to print a fresh one for you.

I'm a little confused! Charts are printed locally? I guess I can ask
my local pilot shop where they get their charts. I assumed it was
directly from the gubmt.

I also will try ironing, as one person suggested.

Sure, any print shop should be able to handle the sectional images.

I went to that link and could not find any offer to print sectional images.

Maybe you could be more specific? Where, exactly, is one supposed to get
the images for Kinkos (or any other print shop) to print? And don't say
"from a sectional chart", because the folds will come out on the
reproduction as well.

It says that they handle standard formats. I'd expect you to realize that
TIFF is fairly standard.

It's difficult for me to believe that you've never seen the FAA sectional
images nor were you able to find them, but...

We had to get rid of the folds when we patched several WAC charts
together at our local airport. After we got them together, we ironed out
the creases. It seemed to work.

My local FBO got flat charts (delivered rolled) from someone at the
local FSS. You might try asking there?
