If your printer only prints a single color, you can either:
- Print both the land and water objects in the same color.
- Print only the land object.
Recommended layer height is 0.1mm or lower for optimal detail and a harder test, but the maps will print fine at thicker layer heights with less detail. This test model is at the same scale (1:2500000) as the other USA state topo maps.
The pictures with 2 prints side by side show examples of before/after calibration.
