WALL-MAP PRINT PROOF CHECKLIST
Yenra | October 11, 2026
Guide: https://yenra.com/wall-maps/

Open in a text editor and save a working copy. Record dimensions in the
stated units. This is a proofing worksheet, not a scale-accurate map or
print template. Test an actual-size crop of your exported map separately.

PURPOSE AND ROOM
Intended reader / task:
Wall space width x height (cm):
Viewing distance / lighting:
Mapped extent / smallest essential labels:
Source / edition / data dates / projection / reuse rights:

SCALE AND PAGE
Ground span width x height (km):
Scale denominator D for scale 1:D:
Map footprint width = ground width (km) x 100000 / D (cm):
Map footprint height = ground height (km) x 100000 / D (cm):
Margin / legend allowance:
Final paper width x height (cm):
Projection and local scale variation considered:

Fictional regional example:
60 x 40 km at 1:100000 gives a 60 x 40 cm map footprint, before margins.
60 km = 6000000 cm; 6000000 / 100000 = 60 cm.
To fit 60 km into 80 cm of map width, D = 6000000 / 80 = 75000.
Uniform 125% enlargement: new D = 100000 / 1.25 = 80000.
These estimates assume a suitable regional projection; global map scale
varies across the sheet. A resized numeric scale must be updated.

ACTUAL-SIZE PROOF
Export file / version / dimensions:
Print crop at actual size; any automatic fit-to-page setting disabled:
At 1:100000, a 10 km scale-bar segment should measure 10 cm:
Measured scale-bar length (cm) / expected length (cm):
Smallest essential labels readable at intended viewing distance:
Legend and symbol conflicts checked:
Raster sharpness / fonts / linework / source credit checked:
Glare under intended lighting and surface / glazing tested:
Changes required / reviewer / date:
Final accepted export and printing instructions:
Person responsible for later data updates:
