For AEC multiple drawing sets, make use of our 7 high production Océ large format printers (4 Océ 9800's, 3 TDS 800)

PacBlue’s digital blackline printing process allows you to send a hard copy original or a CAD produced file. The hard copy original can range in size from 11"x17" to as large as 36" wide. The CAD file can be from a MAC or a PC.

A few of the benefits of using digital blackline printing are:
  - eliminates the plotting to vellum step
  - provides crisp black images on high contrast white bond paper
  - provides an extremely fast turnaround
  - copies can be reduced to 25% or enlarged up to 400%
  - copies will not fade in the sun over time
  - no ammonia odour.

Media choices include bond, vellum, erasable vellum and several specialty products.

Although PacBlue’s digital blackline printing process will accept hard copy originals the trend is towards sending your CAD files directly to the 9800 printer. This way, every print is a high quality "first generation". By utilizing this service, you no longer have to produce a plotted original for printing, saving you media cost, ink and most importantly your time. For PC based files the procedure involves the software Reprodesk. For MAC based files the most recent development utilizes Adobes PDF file format.
