6.5 Printing and reproduction
Even though new printing methods, like digital offset, colour copying etc. is developing rapidly, traditional offset is still superior in quality when printing detailed maps. For IOF events such as World Championships and World Cup this is the recommended method. However, if alternative methods produces maps with the same quality as traditional spot colour offset printing, they will be accepted.
For smaller competitions, maps are likely to be reproduced in relatively small quantities and for this the new and cheaper printing methods are well suited.
