I have digital images of some old maps i would like to print and get framed. Anyone have sites to recommend? They are large images i would like to be able to upscale them if possible to make them larger. Thanks.

For the printing use Professional Color in Metarie. It's a respected shop. LINK
For upscaling a challenging aspect is that you'll be limited by the effective resolution of the original map printing. You might play with Photoshop's super resolution feature before you pay to have it done.
If in BTR, Larry Johnson is a fantastic pet photographer who also does image enhancement and has hand's on experience with digital printing. I believe that he uses Professional Color for his printing needs. LINK

What is Giclée Paper?
The term "giclée" refers to a specific set of high-standards in the printing process, where the paper (or other substrate like canvas) is a critical component:
Archival Quality: Giclée papers are acid-free and often made from 100% cotton rag or alpha-cellulose fibers, which prevents them from yellowing and degrading over time.
Specialized Coating: The paper has a special coating designed to work with pigment inks, ensuring the ink sits on the surface properly without bleeding and dries to a vibrant, stable finish.
Variety of Finishes: These papers come in various finishes, including smooth matte, textured matte (like watercolor paper), semi-gloss, and glossy, allowing you to choose the surface that best fits the aesthetic of an antique map.
Heavier Weight: Giclée papers are typically heavier than standard photo paper (often 250gsm to over 300gsm), providing a premium look and feel

I only use mpix. A professional photographer recommended them to me years ago as its the consumer side of the professional printer she used.
