Printing Plans

[sapperpie]

Hi guys,

Curious to know where (if anyone does) they get their plans printed? I got quoted $75 for 1x A0sized plan and 1x A2sized plan at a place here in Brisbane. Does this sound reasonable? It almost seems it would be easier/cheaper to just buy them overseas and get them sent to me.

They do do same day printing though, so I guess that's a plus

Cheers,
Pete

I get full size copies done for $4-5.

That looks really handy kim, thanks

Sounds utterly exorbitant to me.
Kim's call is good if you have Windows.
I'd be checking with some draftsmen to see where they get their building plans printed.

yep $4 for a double-bass plan is about what I pay. A little more for scanning and download to a USB key. But $60 is over the top, even in brisbane.

I use this sort of place and always get a few copies so I can mess one up and keep a good one rolled up.

You gotta be kidding!

PlanMan in Cairns starts at $1.95 . Never paid more than $2.50 each. Most times they do them while I'm standing at the counter. 5 minute turnaround. If I'm in a hurry I just drop them off and pick up later. Always the same day.

'Tis a good thing 'bout being unflash. I get good turnaround times when I stand at the counter waiting too - where's the old and grumpy smelly? The odd passing of wind, belching and a bit of urgent scratching thins out the line of those waiting for service too

I have a funny feeling office works can print pretty big.
Me? We've got an A0 printer at work. It cost $30,000 so as long as the boss doesn't find it jammed up with instrument plans I'm all good

Beware of funny feelings mate. Can lead o twitching and scratching; not cool in the corporate world

but perfectly OK in the privacy of a luthier's workshop, n'est-ce pas?

[sapperpie]

Well, I got a quote from the store Matthew linked me. $25 for 3 A0 sized plans and 1 A2. I think I know which one I will go with.

I might checkout office works too.

Go to Office Works, I got 4 AO printed last week @ $3.69/ item = total $14.76.

I just happened to be on the Officeworks site recently to check about their printing and copying prices for some things for church, and remembered that there is a page of all their prices including plan-sized documents (at the bottom of the page):
