Poster vs. Screenprint

A screen print is made using a stencil process in which the print's image is superimposed on a very fine mesh screen. Ink is then squeegeed through the screen onto the paper. The result is a less exact print than the professionally printed posters, but the non-professional look of screen prints has become a significant cultural aesthetic. The ink on the prints is thick enough to see a slight bit of depth (and can be felt), whereas on the professionally printed posters, the ink soaks into the paper and is flat. Our digitally printed posters are printed by an employee-owned press here in Chicago, and screenprints are done either by us in our studio or by other printers in the city.

Custom and personalized orders

We don't do any custom posters or screenprints. However, we do offer custom canvases. You can find more info about that here: http://orkposters.com/canvas.html. We do not offer digital downloads of our graphics. We sometimes do license the images for various projects - send us a message with your idea.

In addition to the kid's tees and onesies, we keep a limited inventory of t-shirts for many of our cities (and the Great Lakes, Heart, and Brain). Find them here: http://orkposters.com/product-category/tshirts/adult-t-shirts/.

You can pick up in Chicago? Awesome! Our retail shop, Neighborly, carries all of our posters and prints. Neighborly is located at 1909 W Division St; hours can be found at neighborlyshop.com.

Paris, France Arrondissements Map Poster

My map of Paris, France arrondissements features the city in my unique, typographic style. I am the original designer of this style of the neighborhood map where the letters of the neighborhood's name are twisted and turned to fit inside the area of the neighborhood. All other similar looking artwork is a knock off of the original design I created in 2007.

I choose to use high quality print methods, which require me to print in large runs. Therefore, I am not able to offer custom options.

Our posters are offset litho printed with eco-friendly inks on matte, recycled poster weight paper.

Our screen prints are silkscreen printed with water based inks on uncoated, poster weight paper (recycled when available) and are signed on the back by me, the designer. They are slightly higher in price because of the more hands-on nature of the screen printing process.

Maps are available in Imperial and metric sizes:
18" x 18": Classic B&W Poster, Cream/Purple Poster
20" x 20": Teal/Lime Print, Kraft/Green Print
50cm x 50cm: Classic B&W (inverse design), Cream/Purple Poster, Brown/Green Print, Teal/Lime Print

The frames in the photos are not included but are available to purchase via our website at orkposters.com. We do not stock frames for the metric sized posters.

Makes a great gift for:
boss
coworker
boyfriend
girlfriend
traveler
in-laws
map nerd
employee
housewarming
closing
college student

-----

Graphic designer Jenny Be-ork-rem (hence "Ork" Posters) is the creator of the original typographic neighborhood map design. She began back in 2007 by designing a Chicago map for herself, seeking a modern take on the traditional look of maps. In late 2007, she experienced the "Swiss Miss effect" after her Brooklyn map was posted on the popular design blog, Swiss Miss (not the hot chocolate). After a successful holiday season, she was able to quit her full-time design job in early 2008 and work on Ork Posters full time. Ork now offers over 25 U.S. and international cities and Beorkrem continues to work on new designs so more and more people can show their love for their favorite cities. See the full line up, and options for frames or custom canvas prints at www.orkposters.com or visit Ork's retail shop in Chicago, Neighborly, neighborlyshop.com.
