Holy crap, dont print the world map.

It'll take up to or beyond 10 pages full-size, and even then you're going to be spending alot of ink on those pages due to the black background on the text characters. Basically, the entire page is painted black, with colored text characters over top. So you're going to shrink it down to 2 pages to avoid all that wasted ink... Only that you'll shrink it so much, you can barely read it when it finally is printed, and you'll definitely not be able to read it in a darkened room.

Wait for DF to have a improved, printable map feature. Yes, export the map and look at it in Paint... But dont print it.

I don't think you were meant to print it. lel.

Considered taking it in Photoshop or something and doing a color invert? Black becomes white and all that.

Mountain ranges would look like pits.

Well, it's still basically indexed colour with sharp edges and all that, so you could just swap colours until you got something that looked good on a white background. If you could print that out on 11x17 with minimum margins, you'd probably end up with a document that's vaguely map-like...

Not if you invert the color values, rather than the map itself...

Mountain ranges are greyscale. White becomes black. Light grey becomes dark grey.
