6-lobe printing layout for ball graticule


What projection would you recommend (Winkel tripel?) and how can I export the result (probably segment by segment?) via the print composer to a vector graphic program that allows me to generate the final printing layout (CMYK)?


I am not (yet) an experienced GIS user; the result will be used as teaching aid in poor South American schools.
