Press Checking Our New Gem Trek Editions

One of the most-loved features of Gem Trek Maps is that the map set features a distinctive colour scheme that makes readability of the topography a breeze. To ensure similarity between maps and between editions a press check is important, so we always spend a day or two at the press as each map goes through rigorous colour-matching by the press operator.
