Custom Plotting

Northern Cartographic's facilities include a number of plotting options for clients who wish to have their GIS or graphic files plotted, supporting plots up to 54 inches wide and 2400 dpi resolution. In addition to device output, our technical staff can solve many of the compatibility problems that present themselves when attempting to print. We have a great deal of experience in taking GIS, CAD, desktop publishing, and other file formats and producing competitively priced output on a number of different media. Our service will provide a better result, both in terms of quality of output and customer service, than many of the larger, national chains of self-service printing and plotting.

GIS Mapping

Northern Cartographic core operations are dependent on an ability to utilize GIS as a primary map production tool, providing high quality cartographic results using complex spatial data. The success of Northern Cartographic lies in its highly trained professional staff who possess expertise in technical consulting, system design, cartography, map design and layout, application development, technical documentation, and project management of GIS applications. The principals of Northern Cartographic represent the best technical staff in the region, and in their former and current employments have over 40 years combined GIS, data base, and cartographic experience. Northern Cartographic also has a wealth of knowledge and experience in employing the powerful tools of GIS to achieve high quality cartographic output; an experience base matched by only a few firms worldwide. Our expertise also extends beyond GIS mapping into related technologies, such as image processing, photogrammetry, global positioning systems (GPS), and publishing.

Graphic Design Services

Northern Cartographic not only provides the highest quality mapping, but can also design, develop, and incorporate graphic elements to provide our clients with a complete solution to their mapping and graphic needs. Many of our projects require a complete solution, which integrates mapping and graphic design into one product. Our experience with using desktop publishing and GIS has provided a strong basis from which to approach even the most complex of designs. Whether it is photographs, graphics, ads, or animations, Northern Cartographic can provide a completed product on time and under budget.

Conversion of GIS Data to Desktop Publishing

Northern Cartographic are experts in converting GIS data into formats that graphic designers can easily use and modify, providing designers a low cost opportunity to access the wealth of spatial data and GIS capabilities. Our success is predicated on an ability to move between complex spatial GIS data sets to desktop publishing. This process, often an area of high cost and frustration for graphic designers, has been refined to a degree that allows us to provide graphic designers the data they need, in a format they can use, and at a price they can afford. One of the most frustrating aspects of the explosion in spatial data in recent years for graphic designers is the inability to use any of the data. Even the simplest of maps become complex and costly for graphic design shops to use. Northern Cartographic can provide base maps, at any level of detail, in formats that your graphic staff can use and modify. Take the frustration out of GIS data, and call Northern Cartographic.

Desktop Mapping

Northern Cartographic uses a variety of tools to produce results that exceed our client's expectations, using a number of desktop publishing platforms in developing maps and supporting graphics. We provide clients with completely compatible file formats and an ability to modify the data on their own. In addition, our ability to move between GIS and desktop platforms provides our clients with very cost effective updates and the ability to incorporate new data at any stage of the project. Northern Cartographic affords you the opportunity to execute a project completely within the desktop environment.
