Engineers, surveyors, drafters and fabricators send us drawings that must be read closely, measured and marked up. We print CAD plots and engineering sheets in large format for clients in Oakville, Mississauga, Burlington and across the GTA. Whether the file started as a DWG or a DXF, we work from a PDF that you export for plotting.
Options and sizes
- Standard sheet sizes. ANSI sizes run A (8.5 by 11), B (11 by 17), C (17 by 22), D (22 by 34) and E (34 by 44) inches. ARCH sizes run from 9 by 12 up to 36 by 48. Our sizes guide lays them out side by side.
- Black and white or colour. Black and white is the usual choice for technical sets. Colour is useful when layers or highlights carry meaning.
- Sets and revisions. Print a single sheet or a full set, and reprint only the pages that changed.
- Folded or rolled. Say which you want for delivery.
If you need another size or paper type, ask us.

Tips for great results
- Plot to PDF at the full sheet size, with scaling set to 100 percent. Fit to page can quietly change your scale.
- Embed fonts or convert text to outlines so nothing shifts.
- Set line weights on purpose. Hairlines look fine on screen but can disappear on paper.
- Keep a scale bar on the sheet so anyone can confirm the print is true to scale.
- Colour-coded layers can turn into similar greys in black and white, so test one sheet first.

Can you print directly from DWG files?
We prefer a PDF plot, because it locks in your line weights, fonts and scale. If you are unsure how to export one, ask us and we will walk you through it.
How do I know the scale is right?
Measure the scale bar on the printed sheet. If your file was plotted at the correct size and printed at 100 percent, it will match.
Can you reprint just the revised sheets?
Yes. Send only the changed pages and tell us which set they belong to.
