Blueprints & Line Drawings
We can produce standard CAD line drawings in either black and white (e.g., blueprints) or color (e.g., redline prints) in a wide range of standard and custom sizes and on a wide variety of print media. These prints typically have about a 5% coverage can be generated from either a scan of an existing document or from a pdf file.
Our standard media for both black & white prints and color prints is a 20# Engineering Bond. In addition, we have a number of alternative papers to meet you special needs. Our options include colored and heavier bond papers, translucent mylar & vellum options and the Tyvek durable option for field prints.

For black & white printing and color printing, our maximum width roll is 36 inches.
Half Size Prints for Half Price
Standard drawing sizes used in construction can get quite unwieldy – especially for large construction sets. By reducing a drawing image by 50%, a unwieldy 36×48 “E” set of drawings becomes a more handleably 18X24 “C” set. Similarly, reducing a large 24×26 “D” set by 50% produces a 12×18 “B” set. These smaller sets of construction drawings are suitable for many situations and are still easy to read, more convenient to handle, and cost about half the that of a full size construction set.
