Greetings,
I am happy to let you know that my company, Williams & Heintz Map is a Certified NOAA POD Chart Printer.
NOAA updates the files weekly. We download the latest file, add the required Certification, and ship within 24 hours of receiving the order. The NOAA POD Chart is printed with an Epson Stylus Pro 11880 at the maximum quality setting.
Williams & Heintz Map offers the POD Charts on two durable and water resistant kinds of paper:
· 36 lb. JCP E-50 Nautical Chart Paper, a 50% cotton nautical chart paper, traditionally used for lithographically printed nautical charts that mariners are accustomed to.
· 24 lb. JCP E-20 High Wet Strength Map Paper, a white paper with a lithographic finish that is made to be used out in the elements. This economical paper is fully functional even when wet.

Alright everyone, I've got an update!
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I just spoke to the Coast Survey person in charge of chart distribution and Print-on-Demand at NOAA. He was able to confirm that there are no plans for NOAA to start printing charts again; we'll be sticking with the Print-on-Demand system for the foreseeable future.
Please let me know if you'd like more information on this program.

All,
Last week I was visiting a local map store and I had a discussion with one of the sales associates about the NOAA nautical charts and how it was shame that NOAA decided to stop production in print. The sales associates commented that a representative from NOAA was in earlier in the year and mentioned that NOAA had decided to re-start the printing of a select number of charts. Which ones she couldn’t remember. I’m wondering if anyone else has heard about NOAA possibly restarting some of their print run for some of the charts?
Thanks,
Dennis
