The latest version of the maps I made with Mapnik are below. Both are
7017x9933 pixels and are optimised for printing at A1 size.

Map of UK (3.2MB)

Map of Ipswitch UK (4.4MB)

To produce the second map I needed to increase the size of the roads,
text and symbols in the mapnik style otherwise the features look too
small when rendered at 300dpi.
