Cartography is both an art and a science. It is concerned with the design and production of maps and a cartographer must understand the mathematical techniques used to represent a solid spherical Earth on the flat surface of a map sheet. The uses of symbols provide the maps distinctive and comprehensive spatial relationships with the earth and are an important part of cartography. When designing a map, the cartographer must know how to use symbols to make complex spatial relationships clear and unambiguous. Further, the cartographer requires a detailed knowledge of the technical processes used to prepare a graphic design for printing. A knowledge of cartography is important to anyone using a Spatial Analysis system to manage and analyze data, since decisions are often made on the basis of information presented graphically to the computer screen or plotted onto paper.

RAMTeCH, since its inception as a GIS based company, realizes the importance of designing and production of maps. We provide in-house production facilities to produce graphic output in sizes from letter size (8.5 x 11”) to standard architectural and engineering sizes (up to 36 x 48”) and over-sizes - up to 9’ X 12’. For photographic quality final products, we use high quality photo-gloss papers and waterproof inks. This combination permits for high quality (600 dpi) and exact color control of cartographic output. We have the capability to provide cartographic maps from different mapping systems and platforms, which permits us to use additional color control, raster manipulation, panelizing, and detail.
