Stamen is a design and technology studio in San Francisco, known in the Netherlands for their work on VPRO's "Nederland van Boven" television programmes.

One of their many achievements is a tile map service with OSM visualisations that are slightly different: Eg, in the image you see from left-to-right the the Terrain style (especially suited to serve as a background), the Watercolour maps which are, well, watercolour type maps and the TONER maps (in black and white) ...

They now offer also a service for creating printable maps out of these tiles. See the beta version of M2I at http://maps.stamen.com/m2i...
