copy plans
« on: January 23, 2017, 10:00:30 AM »

  Where can I get a set of plans copied to full scale?  I have a copy from a magazine that I want enlarged to full size.
 What can y'all suggest?  Thanks a lot...  Oh, the plans are Carl Goldberg Buster plans...

Any of the big office supply places should be able to do it.  Staples printed me a full size plan from a PDF file for $3.59 but I think maybe the lady priced it wrong.  It is usually more like $5 or $6.  Just be sure to ask for black and white - color is a lot more.  You might want to call around, some of the smaller shops don't have the large format printer.

I can personally vouch for Ratz at Hip Pocket....really excellent work.  He makes sure that the print is sized and trued.  Oh....and its on excellent quality paper as well.

There is a Fed Ex / Kinkos near me.  If I need full size copies of plans I can get them there.

I just got a full size plans copied (1 to 1)  36" x 48" at Staples.  Cost about $7.00 Cad with tax. which is not too bad.

Go to this site on Fleabay.   For $10.99 you can't beat it, and has templates to boot.

I've had several sets of plans done at Staples.  E-Mail the .jpg or link to them and wait for e-mail to come pick them up.  Did have one set that he had to redo as they came out too small.  I paid for it too as I thought it would make a great 1/2A.
